Ceramics is a full year course beginning with traditional hand built pottery methods and exploring the discipline of wheel throwing in ceramics production. Basic glaze and glaze chemistry will be covered. These techniques will be explored in the context of ceramic art historically and in contemporary art forms. This course also explores the use of ceramic materials in the larger context of sculptural possibilities. An emphasis on research and introspection is expected through the development of a personal portfolio.
