Ceramics
The Ceramics program at FSU promotes an interdisciplinary approach to the studio art practice of clay in the wider world of art. Students are encouraged to create all types of sculptural work through personal research and experimentation with clay bodies, glazes and a variety of firing methods necessary to create innovative artwork.
