| Course description | Indicative course content 
This course enables students to develop an understanding of Glass and apply their knowledge and skills appropriate to their chosen design discipline. Students work on a series of introductory design exercises and projects of differing time-frames and increasing complexity within a design studio environment. Students are encouraged to develop an integrated iterative design process that incorporates designing, making, evaluating, presenting and reflecting.    
 
Aims of course 
1 Introduce basic Glass design methods, processes, techniques and approaches 
2 Enable students to begin to explore Glass within the context of their own discipline
