Course summary

MA Designer Maker at Camberwell College of Arts aims to take the lead in re-asserting the position of craft and making in the contexts of contemporary design discourse, society and humanity. The course engages with current debates around craft and making activities in the design industry and beyond. It enables you to explore new materials, innovative tools and methodologies and address ethical issues such as diversity, ecology and inclusivity in relation to design.  You’ll have the opportunity to develop a project from proposal to final exhibition, discovering new materials and processes as you explore the meaning of ‘making’.
