ceramics class

It is the mission of ceramics at Iowa to be inclusive to all people, ways of making, material and firing choices, and disciplinary strategies. Our facilities enable any conceivable manifestation of ideas rooted in clay, and we actively seek a diverse community of makers excited to engage with each other in this interpretive environment. Our identity is one of diversity, contemporary critical discourse, and rigorous conceptual investigation.
