Ceramics
The Ceramics Area at the University of New Mexico supports the development of diverse personal visions
Our work ranges from utilitarian pottery, objects, sculpture, and installations to site-specific works, community-engaged projects, and cross-disciplinary and interdisciplinary practice, and honor national curriculum and safety standards.
Special, field-based courses, in time-honored, Pueblo Pottery traditions, are taught and developed by Clarence Cruz of the Oh-kay Owingeh Pueblo. A Luce Foundation Indigenous Knowledge Fellow, Professor Cruz fosters inclusive, cross-cultural dialog, and draws on the singularity of the Southwest.
Ceramics Facilities
Ceramics is housed in three separate buildings. Undergraduate facilities are located in the Art Building and Masley Hall on main campus. Graduate and faculty facilities can be found at the Charles Mattox Research Center, a few blocks off-campus. The Mattox spans over 30,000-square-feet of cross-disciplinary and interdisciplinary workspace, dedicated to individual studios, communal areas for large-scale works, exhibition and critique rooms.
