First Year as a department also has been closed, clearly a grave mistake on their part. An interesting related fact is that both closed departments, are the only departments within the school not in debt. Yes, numbers had dropped but this was no excuse. I do so hope they get cancer...

]]> Tue, 23 Sep 2008 05:38:23 UTC 4202284 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/4053893?utm_medium=rss In case the 'powers at be' have forgotten, the Glasgow School of Art was from conception supposed to be the great nurturing centre for excellence in design. The ceramic design department has in conjunction with all the other design departments at the GSA sought to remain true to the ethos that great design from conception to production, is the very breath and pulse of any civilised city. Dealing a death blow to the ceramic dept is a two fingered salute to the whole design dicipline. Shamefull!!

So disappointed, not just for me but for the future generations of Scottish people who will be interested in ceramics but because of a few overpaid marketing people who didn't do their job very well for a couple of years, these young talented people will have to get their educatio

We maintain ceramics rooms,equipment and kilns and pupils create design and expressive outcomes from the ages of five to eighteen. So why do the Higher education institutions in Art and Design education think ceramics departments are obsolete?

It denies the fundamental nature of clay as a material through which, to learn about three dimensions. It would also discourage students whose creativity develops intrinsically through manipulation of materials forcing them to study outside of Scotland

Frieze Artfair was uncharacteristically full of ceramics last autumn. It seems shortsighted, especially when GSA could potentially have a monolpoly, being the last place in Scotland, and one of the few in the UK, to have a ceramics department.

This is a special course, and it is now an attraction to Glasgow. Ceramacists are not obsolete. Again, problems are re-lived as there needs to be more suppport within scotland for real living artists.

Much of our knowledge of ancient peoples comes from their pottery. It is unthinkable that Scotland in the future should have no ceramics degree course to nurture and inspire future craftspeople!

To lose a course which produces such quality work is a tragedy.
