    Courses Programs in Ceramics

    Higher education courses are typically taught on an individual subject. They can last a few weeks, a complete semester or a whole academic year. A course may be specific to a major or taught independently.

    What are courses in ceramics? These are classes offered at many skill levels that explore ceramic production methods and techniques. Subjects studied can include materials, glazes and firings. Students can also explore techniques such as molding, extruding, pressing and jiggering. Individuals may learn the skills needed to create their own pieces of artwork. Other courses might cover topics such as art history or sculpture. Some classes may include wheel throwing, hand construction, clay chemistry and pottery equipment.

    Many students who complete courses in ceramics develop skills in creativity and imagination. They may also strengthen their communication skills. Developing all of these abilities can help one succeed in a variety of settings due to one’s ability to innovate and think up unique solutions to problems as well as express them.

    Because courses vary greatly according to the university at which they are offered, there is no standard cost of enrollment. After thorough research, prospective students should contact the institution offering the course they wish to take. The office of admission can provide specific pricing information.

    Courses in ceramics may prepare students for positions as industrial designers, multimedia artists, animators and other creative professions. Many individuals dream of pursuing careers as independent artists and selling their pieces on commission or through art galleries. Students may also be able to earn a living or supplement their passion by working as a ceramics instructor part-time or full-time.

    Some ceramics courses may be offered online. However, because ceramics requires a lot of hands-on learning, many courses are only available in a more traditional setting.
