CERAMICS

This course is designed to offer students a structured environment in which they can continue to build on their ceramics skills in order to create more complex and more highly finished ceramics.  Students will develop the skills necessary to create ceramic ware with well-crafted and suitable lids and be able to duplicate pottery forms to create sets and related multiples for projects that may include some of the following: mugs, pitchers, lidded vessels, bowls, and tea pots.  Students will apply the techniques and skills of decorating and glazing to finish their work, being mindful of the principles of function, design and aesthetics. Students will be introduced to Ceramics as a part of a variety of cultures and time periods. In addition to developing their technical skills, students will be challenged to think critically and creatively about their own work and the work of their peers. They will be expected to participate actively in class critiques and discussions.
