Hi all,

    we at Albert College of Art and Design (ACAD.ab.ca) are planning an
    MFA program in Craft. While I have a vision of how that would work
    and what I would want from a program my colleagues on the Graduate
    Program working group and the institution have some different views.
    We are moving towards a synthesis position, that looks like an MFA in
    Craft, with an emphasis on interdisciplinary activity and theory,
    though I think we will be able to retain the ability to focus (ie to
    concentrate, say, in ceramics, or metal). 

    So here are some questions that your imput would be appreciated for. 

    What is the difference between a BFA and MFA? 

    What would you want to experience in a Craft MFA? 

    If you have an MFA, what would have improved your experience and
    quality? 

    Any other comments would be appreciated. While I think that group
    discussion is really useful here, if you want to contact me off-list
    at brainnetATtelus.net please do. 

thankyou.
Charles
