Recent Professional Updating:
Currently involved in the development of a new course, BA (Hons) Three Dimensional Design: Idea Material Object, aimed at anyone whose aim is to use materials to design and make objects for utility, aesthetics, and identity engaging with all techniques of craft, both analogue and digital including traditional wood, metal and plastics as well as rapid prototyping and CNC machining. The focus is not limited to one-off pieces or small-batch production, but engages with all techniques of craft, both analogue and digital. Areas of work will include but not be limited to furniture, lighting, tableware and ceramics. We expect graduates to shape their individual career paths as they enter the ever changing future of inter disciplinary design, with some graduates becoming designer-makers, artists, in-house designers, gallery owners, curators, entrepreneurs and so many more as yet undefined possibilities. The website for the course is http://imo.artbathspa.com and will give an insight into new developments.
