The C3 Centre is one of Staffordshire University’s Research Centres and focuses on the Creative Industries and Creative Communities. We are more than 23 researching creatives or creative researchers at the university, joined by many of our partners in our project activities.
The C3 Centre provides a structural framework for activities that reflect the search for new conceptual and critical insights into practices used by individual artists, collectives and creative thinkers who are passionate about engaging, interacting or co-creating with, local, national and global societies, cultures and communities.
It focuses on those areas of Ceramics, Creative Industry and Creative Communities that make our region so impactful through its creative engagements.
