Within this course students will be introduced to a series of conceptual and thematic issues to build potential directions for independent studio-based investigations. In response, students will develop an Independent Work Proposal that explores one or more of these topics through studio practice. This course is designed for later year students in the Craft and Design disciplines to develop their advanced making skills, visual vocabulary and media-specific methods. The Interstudio framework will foster the contextualisation and deepening of studio practice while encouraging interdisciplinary or cross-media engagements, collaborations and critique. Lectures and other presentations will be centered on specific themes, and address concepts relevant to contemporary practice in craft and design. Studio practice components will emphasise independent development and management of projects to be supported by regular supervisory discussions and class critiques.
