Art Studio Ceramics - Montclair State University

Art Studio Ceramics from Montclair State University is a Campus Bachelor Ceramic degree that prepares you for a Art and Design career. Ceramics at MSU provides a rigorous curriculum of study that encourages students to explore the medium of clay as a means of developing personal sensibilities and giving expression to a wide range of experiences. Experimental in nature, the program allows students to work with clay in its pure form, or to combine it with mixed media to develop unusual and unique pieces. Students may elect to explore vessel or sculptural forms during their course of study and often choose to do both. Advanced students experiment with porcelain, stoneware, terracotta, earthenware, paper clay, raku, and adobe, and also learn to fire their own kilns. Strong technical development and understanding of the science of ceramics is emphasized alongside expressive growth. Alumni of the Ceramics program are accepted by the most prestigious graduate programs in the country. Most continue their involvement in the arts long after graduation ; many are recognized through grants and awards for their work. ( One of our alumni received the gold medal for her ceramics from an international exhibition at Faenza, Italy , while another has held serveral offices in the National Council for Education through Ceramic Arts. ) In addition to working as fine artists and crafts people, ceramicists also find work in the ceramics industry as technicians and ceramics engineers, working for companies that produce tableware, artifacts and other commercial products.
