This course provides the opportunity to pursue a coherent project that supports the student's emerging ceramic practice. Students are expected to engage with an area of research appropriate to their practice and develop a body of work that evidences maturation and the sophistication of relevant ideas and skills. Students may work across the range of approaches that constitute contemporary fine art contexts. Experimentation, interdisciplinary and hybrid means are supported and encouraged. Group seminars and critique develop the capacity to express the central concerns of studio work, constructive critical abilities and skill in their articulation.
