Oakland Ceramics

What is the Ceramics Studio ?!

A creative space where students can explore hand-building and wheel-throwing techniques with access to pottery tools through workshops and trainings. We will handle the kiln firings! The studio is located on the Oakland campus, in Aron Art Center Building C.
