Wondering how students feel about online ceramics? Here is what one student has to say:
One of the things that I have enjoyed about the Online Experience is being exposed to the ceramics of Japan, China, Korea, Native American. I also enjoyed being exposed to various potters that are sadly no longer with us and contemporary artists from around the world. The exposure to various techniques using Sgraffito, Mishima, transfers, ceramic glaze pencils, wax resist, slips, slip casting, factory pottery has helped me use my critical thinking skills to try and figure out how things are made.
