Does anyone have any knowledge to share about which colleges offer good
ceramics programs (undergraduate & graduate) which are strong in the area
of technical information, such as clay and glaze chemistry, kiln building,
etc.? Thanks!

Alfred, Univ. of Dallas, LSU, probably A&M-Corpus Christi now that
Louis Katz is there, Appalachian Center for Crafts (Tenn.
Tech.)...there must be dozens, really; you would be well off to
think of schools you are interested in and then visit or at least
call and talk with faculty. Just ask. Many, many DON'T offer
much in the way of technical know-how, and they'll tell you so.
But there are some 1,200 or more ceramics programs offered across
the country - so choose an area, if that is important, and
start calling.

Yes -- Utah State University, at Logan. You'll be allowed and
encouraged to experiment and learn, among people of curiosity and
intellectual integrity. You won't be fed answers; you'll simply be
around very knowledgeable and able potters who are themselves curious
about how and why things function as they do, and who themselves work
and experiment to find out "how and why". John Neely described himself
as "resource person and guide", and believes students learn as much from
each other as from professors. Expect to work hard yourself, and share
what you learn. That's the way it works there.

John................
Alfred.............the best..........IMHO......... and second....
OHIO...for grads and undergrads
Big schools that have ceramic art AND ceramic engineering are bound to be
technically sound..........
also,,,my personal favorite........University of Puget Sound in Tacoma
Washington has a great undergrad course...(their grad school closed when FC
Ball left in 1976..)
Rhode Island School of Design has an excellent undergrad. program...so does
California College of Arts and Crafts and Cranbrook Academy....
