The Department of Design at CARE College of Engineering, Trichy conducted a hands-on Ceramic Design Workshop on 10 April 2026 for first-year B.Des students. Led by an industry expert in ceramic design, the workshop provided students with practical exposure to material exploration, clay modeling, and three-dimensional form development, strengthening their understanding of design fundamentals.

During the workshop, students actively participated in clay modeling exercises, exploring the creation of geometric and organic forms through hands-on experimentation. Under expert guidance, they learned essential techniques in shaping, structuring, sculpting, and refining clay, transforming design concepts into physical prototypes and creative models.

The workshop emphasized experiential learning, material-based design, and design thinking, helping students understand the relationship between form, material, function, and design intent. It also enhanced their foundational skills in tactile design processes, prototyping, and creative problem-solving, which are essential for Product Design and Industrial Design disciplines.

This initiative reflects the department’s commitment to bridging academic learning with industry practice, fostering hands-on learning, innovation, and industry-oriented design education to prepare future-ready designers for the creative industries.
