Inside the Program

Returning art student uses ceramics to craft her future

Students focusing on sculpture can channel their passion for art into building with many different mediums.

Growing up, Mary Kathy Robb's father worked in the business field while her mother was interested in the arts. Both pushed her to follow in their line of work, so she decided to study both. But ceramics became her passion.

Robb started college in 1979 but left before receiving her degree. Many years later, she's at WSU pursuing what she loves.

Curriculum

The sculpture concentration offers a varied and rich learning experience in a broadly defined interpretation of three-dimensional media. You'll gain experience in modeling, fabricating, carving, casting, nontraditional and contemporary techniques.
