Sculptural Conceptions / Ceramics

In recent years, ceramic has become a much-discussed material in the visual arts. Just a few years ago, the roots of ceramics in design, arts and crafts and the field of hobby pottery were viewed very critically, denying it the opportunity to establish itself as a material of fine art. Today, the attitude has almost reversed. Precisely because ceramics has such a rich tradition and has an impact on so many areas of life, it has become a sought-after material for internationally renowned artists. The spectrum of use in the Master’s program ranges from an innovative-experimental approach to the appropriation of traditional ceramic techniques in order to realize artistic projects with reference to a specific tradition.
