This course follows on from the 7922 Creative Studies Certificate course in the same craft skill.

Research Project and Design

The Research Project aims to produce an advanced visual design study, a reference showing detailed, in-depth research and exploration into a topic for the inspiration of design work in any craft. The student will select a theme and prepare a portfolio of design work consisting of exploratory studies and resolved ideas.

The Research Project will supply the design work for at least one of the craft items. Additional design themes can be chosen and developed for the other two craft items.
