In an effort to combine learning with the continued development and beautification of the University of West Florida campus, my Spring 2017 / ART-3769: Sculptural Ceramics class used the students’ collective research of ceramic materials and glaze formulation to create a permanent mosaic bench.  Funded by UWF Office of Advancement, this was a high-impact class, that gave students the experience of seeing first-hand the connections of ceramics and the arts with the fields of science, chemistry, math, engineering and design.
