CeramicsThe BFA degree in Ceramics is a comprehensive program that develops skills, techniques, and processes in clay from concept to finished product. This includes knowledge of raw materials, tools, wheel throwing, hand-forming processes, glazing, and firing. The ceramic courses operate with the conviction that the nature of the material and process, when properly guided, will enable the student to discover design principals inherent in the nature of the clay and processes. This objective continues through the advanced courses, which place emphasis on fostering thoughtful production by using technical processes and at the same time promoting student exploration of innovative, personal, and expressive directions. The Ceramics Art Annex is a 40’ x 108’ freestanding structure with 12ft ceilings and many large windows promoting natural light. It is equipped with a multitude of ceramic and woodworking hand tools as well as current subscriptions to all major ceramic periodicals, Opportunities include: Clay Club, which attends NCECA (National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts) Symposium, Yuma Symposium, Yuma Arizona Students have also been included in helping ceramic artists install at the Daum Museum of Contemporary Arts.
