The Department was established in 2006. It is a creative major for learning about art, crafts and design. The Department is subdivided into 5 divisions, including: metal works, ceramics, fiber, wood work, and design. Classes are conducted in the form of workshops, allowing students to acquire solid training through the workshop environment, whereby they could obtain in-depth understanding and strengthen creative potentials involving materials, helping them build up creative energy for the future.

 

The Department uses materials such as metal, ceramic, fiber and wood as basic materials for learning about work creation. Through classes on ascetics, photography and practical design, students are guided along the way of transforming different materials into works of contemporary arts and craft design

 

In addition to possessing an independent building area and fully-equipped workshop, the Department  can also provide sufficient and flexible space to students for creating works, as well as accommodating the variety of needs for their diverse creation process.
