The Ceramics undergraduate program provides a broad base of knowledge and addresses both technical and aesthetic vocabulary. At the introductory level, clay is used as a material for exploration of perceptual skills and design concepts while students build studio abilities and become familiar with clay and glaze materials and firing methods. Historical precedents, contemporary issues, artists, and art works are incorporated throughout the curriculum. Studio work addresses many types of expression, and supports both sculptural- and vessel-oriented approaches to art making in clay.
