This course introduces students to the potential of learning through and with materials. Material thinking and material language contribute to, and can be a critique of, the ways in which knowledge is valued and can help us find our place in the world. Knowledge in this instance, focuses on forms of making, opening pathways to interconnect what and how we make with other forms of thinking and being. Each of the topics and discipline combinations on offer investigate a particular theme. These thematics enable students to explore and develop technical, material and conceptual aspects of contemporary craft through safe and culturally informed practices.
