knowledge of ceramics

We will cover the special qualities of the materials and processes used in ceramics. You will learn to mix clay and glazes, to fire kilns, as well as various ways to form and decorate ceramic work. Many students are able after one term to continue skill development in advanced classes or in private on a fairly independent basis.

 

learning in art - how it happens

We take class time to discuss work in progress. You might also clarify your ideas by discussing your pieces with a classmate. What do your pieces say to another person? Student assistants can also be very helpful in identifying some quality in your work which you may have been unaware of.
