Experiment with new forms of artistic expression.
The Ceramics Emphasis will teach you about technical and conceptual issues, incorporating both traditional and contemporary techniques. In the ceramics program at Western Colorado University, you’ll discover that clay sculpture and studio pottery-making can be a springboard for new forms of artistic expression and contemporary image-making. You’ll also have the unique opportunity to display your artwork in numerous shows, exhibits, convocations and galas on campus and in the community.
At Western, you’ll master your technique in the ceramics program with outstanding clay facilities with a variety of wheels, clays, glazes, and hands-on assistance from expert faculty, which will give you a comprehensive understanding of materials and processes. The Art & Design Department will also provide you with extensive sculpture process equipment, kilns (including salt and raku) and separate facilities for electric and reduction firing, enabling students’ work to reach professional standards.
