DTC766 : Ceramic design / College of Creative Arts

This course focuses on the individual projects through experimentation, exploration, discovery materials, process and technology towards the production of new products with primary focus given to the aspect of understanding and rational design of ergonomic and user requirements. Research involves marketing trends, technology, culture and production constraints encouraging flexible attitude and awareness of design, as well as developing wider applications in the general methodology. Recent advances in prototyping technologies provide designers with more direct means for transforming concepts into physical form. This shift in the relationship of the `one-off’ to the `multiple’ creates space for a high level of formal experimentation and material investigation. Due to the high degree of technical learning required for the successful creation of prototypes, the design projects will primarily be collaborative with the real industries.
