Hood College Ceramics
Although the Hood College Ceramic Arts MA and MFA degree paths have been officially withdrawn, this transition marks not an ending, but the beginning of something new. We are already exploring fresh opportunities to continue offering advanced ceramic art classes, workshops, and meaningful creative experiences for our community. While change can feel bittersweet, we are hopeful and excited—there is a new beginning on the horizon, and we look forward to shaping it together.
Don't worry! Undergraduate ceramics classes are still being offered. The schedule of courses, workshops and registration information can be found under "Course registration".
