Transform Tradition into Contemporary Practice – A real Student experience

Whether you’re an artist, maker, designer or creative practitioner, this course offers a unique opportunity to explore mosaic as a dynamic contemporary art form rooted in centuries of craft tradition.

Through intensive studio-based learning, you’ll develop your creative voice while mastering the technical and material skills that underpin exceptional mosaic practice from cutting and setting tesserae to experimenting working with both traditional and contemporary tools and materials. You’ll explore scale, texture, colour, composition and storytelling through hands-on making. The Graduate Diploma invites students to see mosaic as a space where fine art and architecture intersect.

Where Fine Art, Craft and Architecture Meet

Mosaic occupies a unique space between fine art, architecture and heritage craft. On this course, you’ll learn how to create work that responds to both contemporary artistic practice and the rich cultural legacy of the medium.

Guided by expert tutors, you’ll gain the confidence to develop ambitious projects, experiment with materials and techniques, and create work that reflects your individual artistic vision.
