MTU Crawford College of Art & Design

What is the course about?

This course familiarises the learner with surface treatment techniques and allows the learner to creatively develop and produce ideas with an emphasis on surface treatment and surface decoration. Throughout the course, students develop and experiment with various decoration and glazing techniques and processes most suited to their individual work. These include burnishing, scrafitto, plaster carving and lazertran. The course explores how different firing temperatures and processes impact on colouration and surface qualities.

Accreditation

These part-time, evening courses provide students with an opportunity to experience the potential of visual arts practice, through sustained engagement with materials, techniques, processes, research and art contexts.  Each course is an accredited module (5 credits) on the National Framework of Qualifications, where 60 credits equate to the workload of a full-time academic year on a degree programme.  It may be possible, therefore, to use these credits as part of one of our full-time programmes in the Department of Fine Art and Applied Art.  Students interested in pursuing this option should contact crawford.enquiries@mtu.ie and bear in mind that they would need to submit work for assessment at the end of the module.
