About

Master's studies in the Ceramics department are based on in-depth research of creative processes, knowledge of ceramic value, quality and possibilities. Ceramics department students also actively participate in exhibitions, symposiums thus creating their own individual style.

In specialty subjects, students gain an insight into the symbiosis of ceramics with architecture and the environment. Figurative composition introduces the complexity of forms. In addition to specific projects, there is also the opportunity to develop your skills in highly conceptual and contextual tasks. The understanding of contemporary ceramics is complemented by up to date ceramic's technologies, 3D and porcelain painting. Art and material study courses are complemented by related theory courses that analyse and understand the processes of art in different contexts.

The master's thesis is created as a creative work in the visual plastic arts. This work also includes a part of the theoretical justification, according to the subfield and thematic field chosen by the student.
