Ceramics | Bachelor’s Degree

Description

We believe that when you make things with your hands, like working with clay and firing it in a kiln, it helps your mind and creativity grow. In our classes, you'll learn all the skills needed to create beautiful and meaningful art. You'll learn how to shape clay on a wheel or by hand, make molds, apply glazes, and fire your creations in a kiln. We also teach you how to use digital tools and different materials to make art. We believe that researching and practicing different techniques will help you understand the history of ceramics and how it fits into modern art.

At Bennington, you design your own course of study and work, taking full advantage of the College’s resources both inside and outside the classroom. This process goes beyond the bounds of a traditional major. You identify one or more areas of interest that spark your intellectual curiosity and provide a foundation for your academic work and fieldwork, and you pursue that work with ongoing guidance from your faculty. This is your Plan.
