Throughout history, people have formed metal, textiles and clay into objects that both support human activity and are expressive art forms. Just as relevant today, such objects enhance the built environment as well as the human body.
Jewellery/Metalsmithing
This program encourages students to look at jewellery/metalsmithing in critical, nontraditional ways while still respecting the materials, methods and skills associated with traditional fine jewellery and object-making.
Fibre
The study of Fibre at OCAD incorporates both textiles and surface/design print and encourages students to experiment with fabric and fibre structures, on- and off-loom. It incorporates computer-aided design and surface embellishments such as stitching and beading.
Ceramics
Study in Ceramics focuses on visual and conceptual problem solving, while acquiring technical skills and knowledge of clay and the technology surrounding that material. Exploring the potential of the materials, students gain control over ceramic surfaces and develop their own innovative approach to the medium. Through the exploration of the physical and chemical properties of clay, glazes, mouldmaking and surface manipulation, students create functional or sculptural ceramic objects.
