The primary focus of this course is to introduce students to the wheel forming of clay with special emphasis on the aesthetics and design of functional pottery. We will spend time learning wheel-throwing techniques as we look at work from other ceramic artists. In addition to the wheel, you will learn about the clay drying process and finishing techniques. Healthy studio habits and safety procedures will be stressed. Prior ceramics experience is not required.
