- Associate of Applied Arts Degree: Studio Arts
Specialization: Crafts (532.01)
Explore the rich and satisfying world of visual art in the exciting environment of TCC’s Visual Arts Center located in Olde Towne, Portsmouth. In state-of-the-art studios for two and three-dimensional design, photography, painting, drawing, ceramics, and glass blowing, students will gain extensive studio experience in a wide range of media, both traditional and contemporary, learning from masters of their art.
While many students in the Studio Arts program are developing skills and knowledge for a career in the field, others take courses in this program for personal satisfaction and life enrichment.
Learn how to blow glass and make pots. The history of clay and glass is as old as our culture. In this specialization students will learn traditional methods of glass blowing and ceramics, as well as techniques shaped by the advances of modern technology.
Students will be prepared for entry into the crafts industry as an independent craftsperson, commercial framer or art supply service representative, gallery representative, instructor or assistant instructor at art centers or galleries. While not designed as a transfer program, courses from the Crafts specialization may be transferable to corresponding programs at four-year colleges and universities.
