About the course

You?ll learn to develop a unique creative practice that draws from traditional crafts, technical skills in glassmaking, and advanced digital tools. Known for our collaborative, experimental culture, we encourage you to work across disciplines. From ceramics to industrial design, you?ll learn to use material as a mode of expression and investigation. Our program has deep ties to the Studio Craft movement of the 1960s, when everyday people and artisans began creating objects by hand in their own homes and studios. They improved upon the materials and methods of the past while owning every step of the creative process. This spirit of craftsmanship is still thriving in the Bay Area, where you?ll draw inspiration from alternative art spaces and design studios that actively uproot conventions.
