The tech would also have the option to also apply to the CHP lecturer pool. We are a historic (check out the book about our studio here https://kymkemp.com/2023/06/24/ceramics-at-the-laundry-new-book-on-ceramics-at-hsu-1970-2020/ !) and vibrant program focused on the development of undergraduates. We currently have a 7,000 sqf studio space that houses 13 electric kilns, a soda kiln, two raku kilns and 4 gas kilns. We are in the process of ordering a new Geil car kiln and a Blaauw car kiln to go into our new building that we are currently designing. Our studio has a full wheel room, handbuilding classrooms, plaster room, glaze kitchen and clay mixing facilities. We are scheduled to move into our new space in 2 years, the new tech could be a major part of designing this space along with the tenure line faculty Carly Slade. We currently run 6 ceramics classes per semester as well as summer classes. In addition the students attended the CCACA conference yearly in Davis, CA.
