Ceramics Department ceramics Embodying both a history as a traditional crafts school and the drive toward innovation, OCAC ceramics grounds students in basic building, finishing and firing techniques. Concurrently, students work with clay as both a sculptural and functional medium.
Classes range from working with experimental ceramic materials to building a kiln.
Students develop balanced skills in handbuilding and throwing clay on the wheel. Advanced courses progress to kiln theory and design, firing techniques, glaze calculations and other surface treatments.
