Art Student Uses Ceramics to Craft Future Career

As a student focusing on ceramics media, you will use your hands to express your creativity and past experiences.

Robb plans to secure a residency after graduation and continue to work on her ceramics.

It also fosters a working knowledge of the use of ceramics materials and methods, such as the use of slips and glazes, as well as firing processes including stoneware, wood-firing, soda-glazing, and raku.
