Overview

Key Features

The students of the Studio Art - Ceramics program from University of Central Arkansas achieve a technical understanding of the material by mixing their own clays and glazes and firing a variety of kilns. Students are simultaneously encouraged to experiment and to develop their visual and conceptual skills.

The Department of Art and Design has a fully equipped ceramics studio with materials that allow for making and firing every type of clay body from earthenware to porcelain. There are multiple electric kilns plus two gas kilns, one large enough for single pieces up to 4 feet tall, and a fast fire wood kiln. There is at least one nationally or internationally known visiting artist per year on a rotating schedule of potters, sculptors and slip casters, often these are linked to an exhibition of the artist’s work in the Baum Gallery. Recent visitors include Joe Page, Justin Novak, Lisa Orr, Jeff Oestrich, Tony Hepburn, Tomio Fujita, Gina Bobrowski, Heather Alexander, Curt Lacrosse, Jeannie Hulen and Mike Jabbur.

The studio atmosphere is one of exploration, excitement, hard work and fun. Many topics are covered: from the technical — mixing our own clays and glazes and firing a range of kilns at a variety of temperatures, to the conceptual — idea-based projects that push students to think deeply and creatively about their reasons for making and their aesthetic choices. The ceramics studio is a community space that is filled with creative energy and students committed to exploring their artistic identities.
