About
Housed at the College’s Swain Center, the Heritage Arts program offers ceramics, digital photography, printmaking, painting, drawing, weaving classes, and a variety of other classes focusing on heritage arts, crafts, and artistic process. The program frequently works with community partners to offer opportunities to experience the arts or assist in delivering art-based content.

Our classes are centered on process based learning and the sharing of creative ideas. Anyone over 16 years of age may enroll in our classes year-round, while under 16 may enroll during the summer semester. The Heritage Arts program offers a Master Potter Certificate.
