The Bachelor of Fine Arts, Major in Ceramics offers students an opportunity to explore the media and practices of ceramics. It is designed to give you an understanding of vessel, sculptural and architectural ceramics. As you explore these elements you will examine the relationships between design, materials, colour, process and techniques. An awareness of historical and contemporary issues in ceramics and their relationship with other discourses (such as fine art, design, and architecture) will help to develop an informed perspective on your work.

NSCAD ceramics graduates have established successful international studio practices that contribute to the profile of Canadian ceramics. Our graduates are writers, critics, curators, arts administrators in galleries and museums, and designers for industry. Many go on to study in prestigious graduate programs and teach in colleges/universities across North America.
