Thank you to those of you who responded to my question about universities
with good ceramic programs.
So far Northern Arizona University seems to have the type of program I am
looking for, but it would be much cheaper for me if I could find a program
like it in Oregon or California, states where I could claim residency. Does
any one have any suggestions of institutions I should check into? I am
looking for a program that offers courses on glaze formulation and firing
techniques as well as aesthetic concerns.
Thank you your help.

If you were planning on taking a year off after undergrad, why not take it
off while living in arizona. then you can claim residency, saving $$$ is
great and living at home is in theory a good start for that, For many folks,
creativity doesnt quite flow at the rents or even worse hanging out in that
college town you just finished from.
It may seem harsh, it did the first time i heard it, but we learn more by
failing than by succeeding,
After undergrad, go fail a while, scrap around and have some adventures,
you'll be a better person for it. I know students are always short on $$
but hten again, so are artists so if you get a career in art, you can expect
to always be behind in the bills and never by a new car.

Hi Erika
I have been taking ceramic classes at the University of Oregon in Eugene
for the last two years now. I would suggest you check out the u of O's
web sites...
http://laz.uoregon.edu is the School of Architecture and Allied Arts
http://art-uo.uoregon.edu is the schnazzy art dept site, from which you
can go to all of the dept's web sites such as
http://art-uo.uoregon.edu/cer_frm.html for ceramics
I didn't see your original post, so I don't know about all your desires
for a ceramics dept, however I just finished taking the two term
firing/glazing course here. The class teaches theory of kiln firing and
glaze theory during lecture twice a week. However, the big learning comes
from this class being responsible for firing all the general studio work
(bisque and high, some specialty lowfire too), plus our weekly glaze
chores that involve making the shop high fire glazes, cleaning the shop
areas, and maintaining other areas of glazing. The second term
specializes in glaze theory more than the first term. Our long going
assignment was to chose a glaze type ( I tested high fire crystal
glazes) and produce 100 tests of glazes.
As far as studio kilns go:
- one woodfire kiln
- one highfire salt
- one lowfire salt
- outdoor smokeless raku area, also used for pit fires
- gas kilns:
Hanky: for large scale work
Olsen
Denver
Alpine
Rocket- a converted electric kiln
- electric kilns:
three test kilns
Olymic oval kiln
two high fire programmable Skutts
one large programmable Bailey
The faculty can be contacted if you want to come visit the studio, or you
can email me.
Good luck
Jocelyn

Erika, I believe SDSU has a good program. They certainly have a nice web site.

I'm not speaking from experience so take this with a grain of salt.
