The Ceramics area supports the creative and expressive use of clay through a broad range of approaches, including installation, performance, mixed media, large-scale commission sculpture, time-based media, papermaking, printmaking, painting, silkscreen and other processes. Whether your interest is sculptural, painterly or functional, versatile clay brings something special to this intersection of media and processes. Look forward to an in-depth ceramic experience that will reinforce practical connections and aesthetic perspectives applicable to all artistic pursuits.
