MA CRAFT
The graduates from MA Craft present examples of their practice with underpinning research and development, showing why the craft making process is so important in contemporary life and how they explore themes and issues through materials.
In this online show you will see a diverse range of motivations and themes explored through research posters and three-dimensional pieces. Projects from the 2022 graduating cohort include: handmade modular furniture featuring a personal and contemporary take on traditional Korean motifs; experimental, narrative-driven ceramics themed around the significance of particular animals; interactive toys made from wood and wool, inspired by and connected to a particular Italian valley; ceramic tableware that captures the joy of Mediterranean seaside memories; large ceramic vessels exploring the idea of marginal places and precariousness; a suit of hand-dyed and woven fabrics capturing a fascination with graffiti in the urban environment; and a collection of ceramic vessels reflecting a detailed process of gathering and working with locally-sourced clay.
There is a concern throughout this work with the impact of materials, making processes and artifacts on our daily lives.
