Master of Arts - Glass

The Master of Arts in Glass program encourages the development of individual and distinctive glass practice through engagement with contemporary approaches to the material, critical and cultural context and debate.

Students will explore a full range of material expressions that will encourage and challenge preconceptions about glass and its status within the world of craft, art and design.

The scope of the material and the range of processes include hot glass, kiln-formed glass, cold working, and architectural glass – resulting in a wide range of potential outcomes, from product design and sculpture to architectural installations. The program is uniquely placed to offer a rich cross-disciplinary practice; students will have access to spacious and well-equipped metal and jewelry studios, as well as ceramics, glass and resistant materials workshops, and superbly equipped Fab Lab.

Students will have the opportunity to critically engage with current debates within the subject area, relevant institutional contexts and partners and be encouraged to consider what it means to be an artist in the 21st century.

this program support them in articulating their ideas, developing their working methods and creating independent work, through individual tutorials, lectures, subject-specific seminars, studio and gallery visits and group critiques with access to rich workshop areas and technical resources across the university.
