Catalog description

This course is designed as an introduction to clay modeling, hand-building, and throwing.

Beginning with hand building methods (pinch technique, coil building, and slab building) you will then move on to begin throwing on the electric potter's wheel. Once you have been introduced to the various methods of construction, you will then begin to design and build your own ceramic vessels and sculpture.
