Key Facts

The Ceramic Art program embraces all aspects of ceramic art, encompassing all approaches whether established or emerging. At Alfred we welcome creative research in functional pottery form, design, the vessel, object-based sculpture, the figure, architectural applications, installation and performance.

The graduate program in the Division of Ceramic Art is an intense studio-based experience that stresses the development of concepts through making; the faculty aim to provide the highest caliber of education for students whose talents and aspirations are primed to flourish. The launch of the students’ emergence into the professional art community is the thesis exhibition and articulated defense of the work’s premise.
