About the Pottery

The Mission

The Pottery Program embodies, by demonstration and practical experience, the integration of aesthetic, scientific, humanistic, and moral approaches to sustainable living in relation to nature.

The Pottery Program occupies not only a physical space on the University grounds, but also an intellectual and spiritual space; the Pottery Program embodies the University's commitment to the integration of art and life, the preservation of the environment, the linkage of work and worship, and the celebration of diverse cultures.

Ancient Pacific Rim methods of pottery are combined with available local resources and attention to process, anchoring us in a vision of sustainability. The Pottery Program enriches the environment and materials that make creation possible. It seeks ways to maintain and develop these things so that the creative process may speak to and span across generations.

The Pottery Studio is located in the lowest level of Saint Joseph Hall on the western edge of the campus, adjacent to the Saint John's Art Center.
