Clay has a way of seducing people. For 35,000 years artists have given in to the versatility clay offers as a communications tool. The ceramic department looks to the future with one eye still scanning the past. Herron's well equipped ceramics studio encourages experimentation in concept and technique. Clay is worked by the maker's hands.
Tools become an option for ceramic artists.
Low fired, high fired, wood fired, salt fired, sawdust fired, un-fired, hand built, wheel thrown, altered, raku, sagger, glazed, overglazed, underglazed, stained, slipped, scored, and assembled works all add to the community of clay. Students ultimately become well rounded, thoughtful individuals who successfully challenge themselves to speak and be heard using the same material myth credits with the making of People. Herron ceramic artists graduate with the tools necessary to be creative and committed artists, teachers, and successful humans. Once hooked on one of the earth's most common materials, a lifetime of discovery awaits. Thanks for visiting our site.
