Clay Sculpture

The Clay Sculpture Program is designed to help ceramic students learn traditional techniques like wheel throwing as well as innovative media and material.

Because many cultures throughout the world can trace their history through ceramic from, the program promotes an awareness of the medium's connection to our economy, society, and culture. The program culminates in a thesis exhibit through which the advanced student develops a self-critical framework.

The program develops both conceptual and technical skills, and features a faculty who are themselves practicing artists. The classes are small and the faculty which consists of dedicated artist-teachers, give the students individual attention and guidance throughout the creative process. Field trips to galleries and museums supplement the classroom studio experience as do lectures, demonstrations, and exhibits by visiting artists.
