In a world of rapid technological change, globalization and market forces, we often lose the value of creativity. The development of critical minds and dexterous hands are a hallmark of great civilizations throughout history, in which glass and ceramics have been materials through which we witness the continuous struggles and successes of human effort. Whether we look at lenses and medical devices, a simple cup of tea or a porcelain dragon carved for an emperor, we find that glass and ceramics played central roles in the development of human culture and technology, asserting themselves today in creativity individual, with harmonized practices of solid scientific and historical knowledge.
Through practice, we work to guide our students by boosting creativity in glass and ceramics, supporting the development of self-awareness, as well as participants in the social fabric in constant development.
