Glass

The Glass department encourages students to approach glass as both an artist’s material with remarkable expressive range, and a studio discipline imbued with limitless potential that incorporates sculpture, architecture, design, craft and decorative art.

Both undergraduate and graduate students in Glass discover an open, flexible and expansive studio discipline built on a unique history that dovetails with rapidly expanding dialogues defining innovation and creative practice. The department emphasizes a commitment to both material and conceptual investigations of glass, helping students to refine an individual perspective through disciplined experimentation and rigorous critical inquiry.
