Ceramics 3

Artist’s have a story to tell, and they have a personal voice to tell it. Through the work of discovering the student’s artistic voice in Ceramics 1 and 2, students in Ceramics 3 will begin to realize their own personal artistic style.

Students will continue their study of wheel and hand-building skills while exploring their individual style as a visual expression of their ideas. Students are challenged to explore conceptual ideas while maintaining a dedication to function. The course will focus on the possibility of creativity within utilitarian objects as well as non-functional work. Projects may include but are not limited to lidded jars, plates, platters, vases, pitchers, tea cups/bowls, and tea pots.

High-fire glazing and firing will be introduced at this level as well as a component of civic engagement through a tea ceremony celebrating all cultures at the end of the term
