This early childhood degree provides a supportive learning environment.

CONTEMPORARY CRAFT BA (HONS)

BA Contemporary Craft is an exciting interdisciplinary Major which focuses on hands-on, experimental designing and making. We aim to create a supportive community where emerging makers and designers can realise their creative potential. This will result in the creation of specialist craft works, innovative collaborative projects and new professional directions.

The combination of specialist facilities (metal, ceramics, textile and digital), dedicated tutoring and technical expertise make Liverpool Hope University an inspiring place to study. You will be encouraged to experience materials, to share practice, process and aspiration. 
Masterclasses, lectures and group seminars will guide you through core themes, which include: the joy of making, materiality and sustainability, personal directions, craft and equality, collaboration and craft identities.

We have a strong emphasis on professional practice and employability. Supported by university partnerships across Liverpool and North West institutions, charities, communities, business and industry, you will work on live projects, undertake work experience and have the opportunity to undertake a placement year.

A Contemporary Craft graduate can confidently work in diverse careers, including craft/design practitioner, community practitioner, creative producer, curator retail buyer, product merchandising, teaching & postgraduate research, Creative and Social Media Visualiser.
