Introduction to Ceramics

This class will focus on the creation of three dimensional art work using stoneware clay. Students will be exposed to the three primary hand building techniques (pinch, slab and coil), and practice making cylinders and bowls on the potter’s wheel. Students will create, and be assessed on, personalized pieces that reflect their own creative vision. Multiple glazing techniques will be explored for surface treatment. Students will contribute to the welfare of others by learning to properly maintain a safe and clean studio space. A sketchbook will be required for this course.
