Ceramics

The Ceramics Area at the University of New Mexico supports the development of diverse personal visions

Ceramics fosters the development of individual creative practice in the context of interdisciplinary art. All genres are welcome: pottery, vessels, sculpture, installation, murals/mosaics, and community engagement. Special courses in Pueblo Pottery developed by Professor Clarence Cruz, Oh-kay Owingeh, a Luce Indigenous Knowledge Fellow, continue his legacy.
