The ceramics field today is rich with opportunities in a wide range of directions for an artist, from traditional pottery and tile-making to sculpture, architectural wall reliefs or designs for commercial application. The field of ceramics is actively inclusive, encouraging and supporting open access and interaction among artists, craftspersons and technicians who work in clay and inviting aesthetic discourse from all art areas.
Ceramics is one of the three options that a student may select in any of the Art Department's three degree programs. The Ceramics program provides four sequential courses from beginning to advanced level, offering a range of technical and artistic experiences. Additionally, there are Special Problems and Independent Study opportunities for more individualized student experiences. The Senior Thesis for the B.F.A. majors may be carried out in ceramics.
