The formal specialization in ceramics is born in Mexico
The National School of Ceramics (ENC) is a Mexican project with international reach born from a private initiative; a multicultural space focused on quality education and research to transform the ceramic craft in the country.
Mission
Our goal is to preserve the rich tradition of Mexican ceramists, recognize the artistic value of their work, and carry it into the future by training and supporting new generations of professionals —positioning Mexico as a leading producer of high-quality ceramics on the international stage.
