Ceramics
In our master of fine arts (M.F.A.) degree program in ceramics, you may pursue study in pottery, sculpture, tile mosaics, or in some cases, other areas of interest. You work in new and traditional techniques with a diverse faculty of working, professional ceramists.
Our students work in individual studios situated amongst an interdisciplinary community of other ceramists as well as fiber artists, metalsmiths, printmakers, and sculptors. Your program of study also allows you take classes in other areas of the University.
The program's facilities and resources encourage and accommodate experimentation with a variety of firing techniques, including high-fire reduction, electric oxidation, salt glazing, wood, and raku. We also support an Anagama kiln.
The School of Art and Design feels that drawing plays a vital and primary role in the creative life of an artist. Click here to read more about this common thread that weaves through our art and design programs.
