Ceramics
The Ceramics area of the Department of Art provides a supportive studio environment for the exploration of diverse approaches to the field, ranging from investigation of utilitarian object making to sculptural practice. This nationally recognized area is committed to innovative coursework that challenges the critical and artistic skills of students at beginning and advanced levels. Through thoughtful discussion, critical examination and rigorous evaluation of concepts and ideas the area intends to help students develop a better understanding of their relationship to the rich tradition of ceramics and ceramic sculpture.
