Field surveys take place when possible. The aim is to visit locations with examples of traditional art from the past, but particularly places where crafts are still practised. For many students it is their first experience of meeting living masters of some of the most ancient traditional arts. The Field Survey is thus important in helping students to understand the relationship between theory and practice. Through their meetings with craftsmen, observation, drawing, lectures, and seminars on site, the importance of this relationship becomes clear. Seeing art and architecture in context provides enormous inspiration for the students’ own work.
