GVSU Art and Design
Ceramics
Students choosing an emphasis in ceramics at GVSU can explore traditional as well as contemporary methods of working with clay.
The curriculum includes the rigorous development of a student’s individual approach to ceramics through the integration of ideas, materials, and processes. They gain an understanding of all phases of working with the medium including clay making, hand-building, wheel throwing, slipcasting, glaze calculation, and firing. As students advance through the program they experiment with different conceptual frameworks including function, design, sculpture, mixed-media, installation, and performance. The recent addition of an artist-in-residency program in ceramics gives students the opportunity to work with national and international artists on the GVSU campus.
Students may pursue a BA, BS, or BFA in this studio emphasis.
