The Craft Center provides opportunities for OSU Students to engage their hearts and minds in the pursuit of self-discovery and self-expression.
We provide pathways for student leaders to discover what is important to them, as they build upon their skills and confidence through meaningful service to others.
We are committed to having the OSU Craft Center be a welcoming, inclusive and equitable creative resource for all OSU Students. Membership is open to OSU students and FREE to incidental fee paying students.
With well-equipped studios and an extensive series of workshops and classes in the handcrafted/visual arts, the Craft Center complements and augments the educational opportunities available at Oregon State University.
We offer well equipped studios and classes in the following areas: Ceramics, Glass, Woodworking, Fibers, Pen & Paper and Jewelry/Metals.
All levels are welcome from beginner to advanced. Come learn, explore and create in a warm and friendly environment!
Student groups, clubs, and orgs. and departments can partner with us to leverage our expertise and technical support to enhance programming that aligns with our shared goals.
The OSU Craft Center is a place for students to build, connect, express, explore, convey, process, imagine, focus, de-stress and so much more. We are a campus hub for creative exploration, self-expression and wellness that is fostered through the process of making things with one’s own hands. Our programs promote student well-being and bring people together in creative pursuits. We create opportunities for our student staff to develop their leadership and teaching skills.
The OSU Craft Center is a department within Student Experiences & Engagement (SEE).

SEE is comprised of the following departments: Community Engagement & Leadership, the Craft Center, Diversity & Cultural Engagement and Experiential Learning & Activities. These departments provide a broad range of programming that contributes to student development, including cultural nights, community service activities, leadership and student media opportunities.
