Glass - Contemporary Dialogues (Part-time) The University of Wales Trinity Saint David

Overview

Glass - Contemporary Dialogues (Part-time) from The University of Wales Trinity Saint David provides the opportunity to explore these new possibilities and knowledge, as well as to develop new skills and approaches to working in glass.

Quick Facts:

• Huge advances have been made in glass technology, and it would seem that the possibilities of the material grow daily rather than diminish. The pace of change is such that it has made it difficult for the practitioner to keep abreast of new developments.
• Throughout the programme, you will be encouraged to develop innovative, sustainable solutions for a variety of architectural, public and private spaces.
• The master’s Contemporary Dialogues portfolio at Swansea College of Art offers a unique postgraduate experience. 
• Graduates and professionals from a wide range of specialities benefit from multidisciplinary learning together with expert lecturers and a broad range of facilities.
• You will have the opportunity to draw upon experiences and knowledge from across the different pathways and reflect this in your own personal study.
• The research environment benefits greatly from the input of our teaching staff and visiting lecturers, most of whom are research-active artists, designers, and theoreticians of national and international significance.
• In the first part of the programme, you will complete a series of taught modules. You will participate in multidisciplinary exchanges, through seminars and lectures involving students from all programmes within the Contemporary Dialogues portfolio, to stimulate new perspectives and challenge directions. The cross-fertilisation of ideas through such dialogues is expected to promote a rethinking of the perceptions and production techniques appropriate to your discipline.
• Throughout the taught part of the programme, you will be expected to undertake material investigations and research into contemporary themes, with consideration given to environmental, economic, social, and cultural issues.
