About the course

The Ceramics program at the Tyler School of Art and Architecture is a two-year, 60-credit program leading to the Master of Fine Arts (M.F.A.) degree that offers personal mentorship from faculty and visionary visiting artists in state-of-the-art facilities and encourages experimentation with media, interdisciplinary projects, and public art to ignite social change. The Ceramics program fosters mastery of the discipline through access to internationally recognized faculty, state-of-the-art facilities, and Philadelphia’s rich clay culture, resulting in work that challenges the medium’s traditional boundaries. The -knit Ceramics M.F.A. community is connected to the extended Tyler M.F.A. cohort through interdisciplinary mentorship from a faculty of socially conscious artists, technologists, designers, and art historians. The Ceramics faculty engage one-on-one with students to develop individual direction and encourage the exchange of ideas—in the studio and across Philadelphia—supported by the resources of Temple, a large public research university. As members of the region’s preeminent Ceramics program, Tyler M.F.A. students partner with organizations in Philadelphia, a city with an established clay tradition and a thriving contemporary art scene, as well as other major cultural centers nearby, including New York. Philadelphia also offers opportunities for students to join a thriving arts and culture community and work as practicing artists and professionals.
