Santa
Ana College presents a comprehensive ceramic program in which traditional and
contemporary ceramic approaches are encouraged. Equal attention is placed on
wheel throwing and hand building. Basic to intermediate courses focus on
fundamental ceramic techniques and processes, while developing art related
concepts and creative identity. Advanced level courses address individual portfolio
development, preparing for a studio practice and transfer opportunities. Additional
attention is placed on clay and glaze theory, surface and transfer techniques, mixed-media
fabrication, kiln firing and presenting work for applications and gallery
review. With 26 wheels, a facility for slip-casting and mold-making, a fully
stocked glaze lab, spray booth and blast cabinet, clay mixers, gas kilns,
electric kilns, raku, soda firing and a test kiln, our studio environment is
exciting and fully equipped.
