Tulane Ceramics

Tulane Ceramics Since 1894 Though Newcomb Pottery ceased operation in the 1940's, the instructional program in ceramics has continued to be one of the finest in the country.

With the hiring of Mary Sheerer in 1894, The Newcomb Art Department became the first Liberal Arts College in America to offer ceramic art as a significant component within a department of visual art. Alongside the instructional curriculum developed the quasi-commercial entity of Newcomb Pottery, which became internationally famous for the innovative designs and remarkable craftsmanship embodied in

the pots. Since 1996, when the Art Department completed a major renovation and expansion of the building, the ceramics area facilities have become outstanding by any measure. Separate air-conditioned teaching studios dedicated to wheel throwing, general construction, plaster working, glazing, clay mixing and firing allow maximum flexibility and access to equipment, with optimal control for health and safety needs. Furnished with modern equipment and safety systems, facilities allow students to make use of virtually any technique or firing range of interest.
