New higher education framework (DoE) outlines the different levels of courses offered in colleges and universities. There are now 5 levels of course within the higher education sector;
The new courses now being developed and offered are at level H, and will be short courses and professional conversion courses based on undergraduate material. Those who are already graduates in another discipline, or have extensive experience in the area where accredited prior learning (APL) will count would take these. These would lead to Graduate Certificates or Graduate Diplomas.
We expect to develop both qualifications in bookbinding and bookarts, possible combinations are being discussed such as fine print design (e.g.) which would be both letterpress printing and craft bookbinding. These courses hopefully will fill the gap, offering people with degrees in related areas such as graphics or design a chance to learn advanced bookbinding or bookarts, not to mention people with bookbinding skills who would like some qualification.
Graduate Certificate in Bookarts & Crafts.
This is a 10 week course providing the student with the opportunity to enhance their skill and design application within the area of Artists Books. The course includes study areas; Book in Context, where innovation coupled with advanced craft applications will allow you to develop an original creative work and further develop previous skills. Form and Function, where language both visual and written will be the basis of book structural design. Both these modules are practical project based and include craft printing (printmaking) and craft binding.
Graduate Diploma in Bookarts & Crafts
This is a 1 year programme and provides the graduate with the opportunity to further develop graphic/illustration and design skills within the context of Book Arts & Crafts.
The course covers advanced applications in Printmaking, photography, computer aided design, letterpress/craft printing techniques and book structure and making skills. The course is project led and has a practical bias.
The first 10 weeks of this programme is the same as the Graduate Certificate.
Graduate Certificate in Craft Bookbinding
This is a 10 week advanced course in Design Bookbinding. The programme includes advanced book design, material applications and suitability.
All advanced techniques are including, for example inlay, onlay, gold tooling, tree marbling, sculptured boards.
During this intense course you will produce a Design binding to the highest craft level. The programme also includes book container design. The course is practical project based.
Graduate Diploma in Craft Bookbinding
This course is spread over one year and has been designed to offer Craft Bookbinding skills at advanced level to graduates in related areas such as Conservation and restoration or Bookartists who wish to enhance their craft skills to a professional level. The programme covers all aspects of craft bookbinding and includes advanced book restoration and conservation, Oriental and Islamic styles, Design Bookbinding, material application and usage. The course includes a module on Historical Bibliography and Contextual studies.
