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.

Course overview

MA Designer Maker 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’.

What to expect

A diverse cohort: Learn new perspectives from fellow students from different cultures and creative backgrounds, including craft, product, furniture design and architecture.

Inter-disciplinary learning: Be part of a community of postgraduate design students from different courses who share the same teaching and learning spaces.

New ideas: Take part in seminars and discussions that cover material culture studies, anthropology, philosophy, sustainability, consumerism, museum studies, psychology and literature.

Critical thinking: Engage with contemporary debates in applied arts, design and object-based art.

Creative facilities: Access to course specific digital resources as well Camberwell's shared workshops, including printmaking, photography, film, moving image, digital, plastic, ceramics, wood and metalwork.

Industry experience and opportunities

You’ll have the opportunity to access collections, makers’ studios, galleries and museums to help advance your critical understanding of designer maker practice.

You’ll also use the Camberwell ILEA collection housed at Camberwell College of Arts, where you’ll work with the UAL Archives and Special Collection curator. This will give you insight into the role of archives as you engage with the history of design and craft.
