BA Ceramics – Cardiff School of Art & Design

Dr Natasha Mayo, Programme Director Ceramics at the Cardiff School of Art and Design, encourages applicants for the school’s BA Ceramics programme.

As one of the few, discrete, BA ceramics programmes in the UK we have found the need to educate rather than simply promote our course. Ceramics – as you are aware – centers around the material of clay, receptive to every potential approach or perspective an artist wishes to engage with, whereas other disciplines are often more determined by approach enacted through what ever material. Ceramics is, perhaps, a little up-side-down in comparison!

But what this discipline teaches us, is to feel the world through our hands – an education far outweighing the prolonged foundation of a fine art degree or diversity of multimedia course – by placing focus on honing our sensibility, every bit as much, as concentrating skills, it is a discipline that trains the body as well as the mind!

At CSAD Ceramics, we have a 92% NSS, with staff passionate, successful contributors to the field both academically and practically, winning awards for their teaching and their teaching resources, housed within a purpose built, richly resourced, collaborative and dynamic art school.
