To work creatively with clay is to play with the elements, earth, fire, air and water in combination with intellectual and practical skills.

The hands on emphasis of the course allows students the opportunity to explore and develop a wide range of skills and associated technologies across the temperature spectrum from raku to porcelain.

The Ceramics Department is one of the best equipped in Australia providing an excellent environment in which to develop individual work through specialisation.

The practical nature of the course extends beyond the campus to enrich the students understanding of materials and processes. Investigation into longstanding historical and craft traditions of ceramics is underpinned by the critical engagement of drawing and ensures the development of critical dialogue with contemporary relevance.
