Overview

Key Features

The field of ceramics is rich in history— and thanks to modern technologies and equipment, it's also filled with exciting new possibilities. With the Ceramics program at Emily Carr University of Art + Design, you'll have the opportunity to take hands-on, immersive studio courses, and develop skills in many traditional methods, including wheel throwing, hand building, and mold making, to name a few. You'll also learn to use modern digital applications and tools, including 3D printers and computer-controlled cutting machines.

As you hone your craft, you'll also have the freedom to experiment with blending various art practices across sculpture, design, painting, printmaking, and photography. You’ll be encouraged to find your voice and develop your aesthetic through hands-on experimentation.

Students who are interested in functional applications may also choose to take a number of industrial design courses, focusing on the material production of everyday objects and their cultural significance.

Alongside your studio work, you'll take conceptual courses that provide a strong theoretical foundation through which to understand ceramics' many applications, methods of labour and production, and relationship to cultural trends. Throughout your studies, you'll learn frameworks, techniques, and best practices from established artists paving the way in the field of ceramics.

Both your conceptual and hands-on learning will be strengthened through classes, seminars, self-directed projects, exhibitions, and professional development. Upon graduation, you'll have produced an impressive body of work, and be prepared to launch into your career.
