Repairs to the Science Building are now complete, and that facility will reopen on Tuesday, January 17, in time for the first day of the Spring 2023 semester. However, repairs to the Visual Arts Building are still ongoing and the VAB will remain closed for the first two weeks of the spring semester. Unfortunately, this will necessitate the movement of some courses to Grossnickle Hall or moved to remote status. If you are scheduled for a class in the VAB during the period of January 17-27, please check with your instructor whether it will occur in person or via remote modality.
Art—B.F.A. Degree, Concentration in Ceramics
About This Degree
The Ceramics concentration provides the opportunity for a hands-on investigation of clay as a complex material rich in possibilities. Through a rigorous course of study in design, aesthetics, and art history, students explore the unique ability of clay to merge ideas, form and function. There is a special emphasis in the development of expertise in ceramics through testing the material chemistry of glazes and clay bodies in combination with firing techniques. The program offers a breadth and depth of knowledge and a unique opportunity for students to develop skills in focus, discipline, and visual communication. Contemporary practices and personal voice are explored through the expressive potential of clay.
