How do we translate physical materials into functional art and capture the evolving narratives of cultural identity through creative practice? The Art, Architecture and Design provision at London Metropolitan University serves as a hub for hands-on, specialist education, bridging the gap between traditional craftsmanship and contemporary creative inquiry.
