Students will explore the relationship between form and function in ceramics by creating objects that serve a practical purpose while being disguised by their artistic design.
Students will design and create a ceramic sculpture that invites interaction, movement, or wearable exploration. This project challenges students to think beyond static forms, considering how touch, movement, or rearrangement can enhance the viewer's experience.
