Centre for Ceramics Research

Cardiff School of Art and Design has been educating practitioners, teachers and other professionals in the discipline of ceramics since the early 1950s, and now offers programmes at all levels: from undergraduate and taught masters, to M.Phil and PhD research degrees.

The School's Centre for Ceramics Studies has an almost equally long engagement with research in ceramics, which now covers many aspects of practice in the discipline, including the theorising of artists' creative practices, and the history of studio ceramics. The outcomes from this research and its dissemination through journals and the conferences, symposiums and scholarly exhibitions held by the Centre, will be increasingly available to all involved in the field of ceramics, through the internet.

Students and researchers are located in an extensive range of studios and specialist workshops, with ready access to technical data and a large library collection and the subject, thus creating a rich, stimulating and vibrant environment for the discussion and debate of ideas and the sharing of knowledge and experience.
