SCHOOL OF ART AND VISUAL STUDIES STUDY IN CERAMICS Through studio intensive courses, supplemented with demonstrations, critiques, and lectures, students in the University of Kentucky ceramics area are exposed to clay’s diverse and complex relationships to the contemporary world of art as well as its long historical lineage. Within this framework, students make and discuss utilitarian, functional and sculptural ceramic objects. Throughout the curriculum students have the opportunity to learn a wide spectrum of hands-on ceramic applications such as hand building, wheel throwing, slip-casting, surface decoration, clay and glaze formulation, glazing application, and electric, pit, raku, gas, soda, and wood kiln firing processes. Students are also introduced to technical terminology, material studies, professional documentation of artwork and proper studio procedure, maintenance and safety. Professors energetically engage with students in an open dialogue format to inspire self-motivated creative inquiry, intellectual rigor and a strong work ethic.
