“The small class sizes at VCSU allowed me to get the individual attention I needed to foster my art skills and reach my full potential. It is also where I developed my love of the pottery studio. I am now a full-time artist and owner of my own pottery business. I don’t think I would be where I’m at without my time at VCSU.”
