CLASS DESCRIPTION
CLASS DESCRIPTION
Ceramics at Crocker is an introductory course covering basic methods of hand building, including pinch, slab and coil techniques. Students will learn the vocabulary of Ceramics, methods of surface treatment, fundamentals of firing and glazing, and will have the opportunity work on the potter's wheel.
Projects will become more challenging as the term progresses, with every lesson building on material previously covered. This is a studio class and students are expected to use in-class time to work on assignments that follow guidelines and objectives communicated by the teacher.
The process is as important as the product!
