Use of gas and electric kilns, other equipment, and the actual running of a ceramic studio are included in this study intensive. Students work in individual studios within the ceramics facility. Graduates combine ceramics with work in a gallery or with work on historical restoration projects, in teaching, museum work, or with design consultants.
