Beginning with the basics, including handbuilding, coil structures, slab construction and glazing students achieve work that is both technically and conceptually proficient. Field trips, reading discussions and critiques will enable students to develop a broad perspective on ceramics and the ability to analyze artworks.Upper Level Craft workshops serve Junior or Senior students interested in applying their skills and knowledge in interdisciplinary studio settings. These courses have an emphasis on project learning, sustainability, global perspectives and entrepreneurial opportunities. There will readings, research or supplemental activities that help students contextualize their creative production within broad Craft dialogues.
