OCAC Ceramics

OCAC Ceramics Welcome to the Oregon College of Art and Craft Ceramics Guild Page! Ceramics
Craft is the Union of Tradition and Innovation.

Please keep up to date on upcoming sales, artist lectures, calls for artists, and any important information in and out of the Ceramics Department. As artists, it is essential to understand the history of craft in order to develop our creative voice. Students explore a variety of methods within the scope of ceramics to develop their personal approach to pottery, sculpting, and installation art. The

ceramics curriculum teaches the fundamentals of handbuilding, wheel throwing and firing techniques of clay as both a sculptural and functional medium. Problem solving and self-confidence are developed as students learn to calculate glazes, fabricate and use molds, create surface treatments, fire kilns and understand kiln theory. As students gain a deeper understanding of spatial concerns, they experiment with the vessel form and its relationship to culture. Students build on ceramic traditions by developing narrative voices and social commentaries in three-dimensional form. The curriculum encourages work with experimental materials, surface treatments and firings. An advanced understanding of ceramic history and interpretation is developed through slide lectures and hands-on assignments. The ceramics studio prepares students to achieve their goals of advanced studies in graduate school or life as a studio artist.
