Ceramics students at Berry learn to handbuild and to throw so that they can make almost anything they can imagine out of clay, be it pottery or sculptural work. They learn to formulate and mix clay and glazes, and fire gas and electric kilns. The focus is on imagination, technical mastery, and developing maturity and independence. Students in our "undergraduate" program are doing things that only "graduate" students do at big universities. We can fire Raku, stoneware, earthenware, and salt, in either oxidation or reduction. Since classes are small, we can and do respond to individual student needs.
