Program Learning Outcomes
Clay College's credit and continuing education ceramics courses are popular among young and old students who take the courses during the day, in the evening, and on weekends. Students can take ceramics courses with a career in mind or for personal enrichment. Both credit and non-credit students learn to mold and fire ceramics, and "throw pots" at RCSJ's Clay College, located on High Street in the Millville Arts District. Residents and students of Clay College form distinctive pottery and sculptures by using various hand building techniques including pinch, coil slab, and the pottery wheel.
Students who have completed the program should be able to:
- Demonstrate basic concepts of structure and construction techniques
- Recognize and demonstrate use of tools and materials associated with three-dimensional design
- Analyze glaze and clay formulation, operate kilns, and other studio equipment
- Perform basic maintenance of a functioning ceramic studio
- Design and write a business plan, resume, artist statement, and bio

Education Unique to Each Student
There’s a great community here. There’re people who don’t even take classes that will come here to work on projects. When you watch other artists work you see other techniques and learn new things. It’s really cool. I love it.
