CERAMICS
Here at the HCA, ceramic students have the opportunity to get their hands muddy while creating everyday useful objects such as mugs, bowls, serving dishes, containers and other vessels as well as exploring the sculptural aspects of the medium. Directed by Hana Reilly, the ceramics studio welcomes students of all backgrounds and abilities. We pride ourselves on being an inclusive and supportive community where individuality and life-long friendships thrive.
Our ceramics studio has ample space and equipment for students to explore their own visions while being inspired by both their instructors and fellow students. The studio is equipped with nine wheels, hand building tables, a slab roller, an extruder, two kilns, 16 glazes, slips, under-glazes, oxides and a plethora of hand-building and surface design tools.
