The Mudslingers student organization gives ceramics students the opportunity to sell work on and off campus, and to plan and lead masterclasses in the ceramics studio for other students. Lower and intermediate classes in the concentration focus on techniques, while advanced classes focus on content, surface, and professional development in the student鈥檚 chosen path within ceramics.

Each student can tailor their education in the upper levels to suit their own unique goals and aspirations, so that we can best prepare them for the specific career of their choice within the broader field of ceramics. The faculty are nationally renowned artists with backgrounds in figure sculpting, wheelthrowing, digital design for ceramic production, and slipcasting.
