This course, together with the programme New Territories of Craft Practices, forms part of Eina’s Advanced Programme in Contemporary Crafts and Design. 

Target Audience 

The course is aimed at individuals from diverse creative and technical backgrounds, such as Fine Arts, Design (particularly industrial design), Engineering, Product Development and Architecture. It is also intended for arts and crafts professionals seeking to deepen, broaden or update their knowledge. Ultimately, it is an open programme for anyone interested in design and crafts who wishes to further develop their practice.

Objectives 

Contextualisation and critical thinking
To broaden understanding of contemporary crafts through the analysis of their historical, cultural, social, environmental and economic contexts, fostering a critical perspective linked to current practice.

Innovation, materials and technology
To provide knowledge of digital techniques for representation, prototyping and project development, promoting innovation in materials and processes in dialogue with craft traditions.

Creativity and cultural development
To strengthen creative capacities within the framework of contemporary crafts and design, integrating traditional knowledge as a foundation for innovative and sustainable proposals.

Sustainability and social responsibility
To position craft cultures as a cornerstone of an inclusive and regenerative economy, integrating the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) transversally.

Knowledge transfer and sector engagement
To promote collaboration and knowledge transfer among craftspeople, designers, artists and sectors linked to contemporary craft.

Professionalisation and entrepreneurship
To train qualified professionals capable of developing their own projects or joining companies in the sector, reinforcing craft as a field of innovation and entrepreneurship.

Career Opportunities 

Students who complete this course acquire the competencies required to work across diverse areas of the craft and creative sectors. They may engage in the production of unique pieces or limited series, work in design studios or manufacturing contexts, collaborate with brands and cultural institutions, or develop personal projects as independent makers.

Furthermore, this programme provides a solid foundation for those considering further academic or research pathways in design, craft and applied arts, as it delivers essential conceptual and technical knowledge.

Study Plan: Craft Editing and Production 

Forms of Craft (blended learning, 24 hours)
This module combines observation, repetition and reinterpretation of traditional archetypes with digital tools, enabling experimentation with processes and forms within a hybrid environment. Students develop their own archetypes, document the process and participate in collective critique sessions. On-site workshop hours complement practice by materialising textures, proportions and tangible objects. The module presents contemporary crafts as a flexible, innovative and creative field integrating tradition, process and experimentation.

Craft and Materials (blended learning, 24 hours)
This module combines experimentation and reflection on traditional and emerging materials, with process documentation carried out remotely. It includes on-site workshop hours to materialise prototypes and explore techniques in a tangible manner. Final projects integrate observation, practice and critical reflection, deepening understanding of the language of materials and their contemporary applications.

Self-Publishing (on-site, 64 hours)
This module guides students from concept to final piece, combining conceptualisation, experimentation and manual production. Students produce unique pieces, limited series or collections, benefiting from individual supervision and immediate feedback. It is a fully on-site module. Workshops allow for hands-on engagement with diverse materials and techniques, documentation of the process and consolidation of creative autonomy, linking craft tradition with innovation.

Living Crafts (on-site, 16 hours)
A 16-hour on-site module offering direct experiences in workshops and manufacturing contexts of local craftspeople and established brands. Students observe and analyse creative processes, materials and techniques, documenting them through sketches, photographs and notes. The module encourages critical reflection on tradition, innovation and the transmission of know-how, connecting these insights with students’ own projects and providing an in-depth understanding of contemporary crafts.
