Building the Foundation of Creativity
The first week of classes at the Craft Department marks a significant starting point for the semester's journey in craft education. Both new and returning students are introduced to the craft studios, supporting facilities, and the creative processes that will guide their exploration throughout the academic year.
This orientation includes studio tours, an introduction to craft materials, and initial discussions on the philosophy and direction of contemporary craft. This approach helps students understand how craft serves as a bridge between tradition and innovation, preparing them to meet the challenges of today's creative industry.
By beginning with essential steps, the Craft Department is committed to providing a learning experience that goes beyond technical skills, fostering critical thinking and creative experimentation. Each student is encouraged to create works that are meaningful, sustainable, and globally relevant.
