From 2010 The Danish Design School, Bornholm is a central part of The Danish Design School’s Centre for Glass and Ceramics. The school forms the setting for one of Europe’s small but leading educational environments in the field of glass and ceramics. We strive to create a dynamic hothouse for high-quality education, research and experimentation – and to add new perspectives to the area.
The Danish Design School, Bornholm offers a three-year craft programme that takes place at the school in Nexø on the island of Bornholm in close cooperation and a rich exchange with The Danish Design School in Copenhagen.
The craft programme is a three-year advanced programme under the Danish Ministry of Culture. The programme offered at the Danish Design School, Bornholm provides in-depth craft-oriented knowledge of techniques and materials, which qualifies graduates to design and develop glass or ceramics on a high formative and artistic level.
Over several years craft has developed to supplement the traditional emphasis on one-offs with experimental work, embracing concepts that reach far into both the realm of craft and new industrial processes. Through research, new technology and business collaboration on design solutions we aim to challenge the boundaries for craft.
