　　Ceramics courses focus on the creative and expressive use of clay through a range of approaches, including installation, performance, mixed media, and large-scale commissioned sculpture. Students may explore ceramics through sculptural, painterly, or functional methods. The immediacy of working with clay makes it a unifying material which can quickly move from idea to object, allowing ceramics to operate at an intersection of medium and process. An in-depth experience in ceramics will reinforce practical connections and aesthetic perspectives applicable to all artistic pursuits. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
