East Carolina University
The ECU Metal Design program offers BFA, BFAED, and MFA degrees and students work in a recently renovated, state of the art facility. The four metals faculty, Linda Darty, Robert Ebendorf, Tim Lazure and MiSook Hur, have diverse strengths and talents contributing to the wide variety of approaches that individual students pursue. Both traditional and non-traditional materials and techniques are encouraged with classes that include metals fabrication, casting, raising and forming, enameling, surface embellishment, electroforming, lathe work, experimental techniques and even large scale welding or smithing. With an understanding of contemporary and historical perspectives, individuality is encouraged through the development of each student’s personal philosophy and direction.
Our program attracts graduate students from all over the country, and currently twelve graduate students were accepted from many applicants. They have come to us from California, New York, New Jersey, Indiana, Illinois, Montana, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Ohio, South Carolina, and Kentucky. The students study here for three years, and we have been especially proud of their accomplishments after graduation.
