Catalog

Ceramics I is an introduction to the fundamental techniques of ceramic art. Students will explore pinch, coil, slab, and wheel thrown construction methods, focusing on the creation of both functional and sculptural forms. The course emphasizes personal expression, historical and contemporary practices, and the development of a strong technical foundation. No prior knowledge of ceramics is required, making this an ideal starting point for further study in ceramics or related arts. This is a comprehensive introductory ceramics course that could lead to further study of ceramics or 3-D and 2-D based art courses and professions. (CSU/UC) (AA/AS-3, CSU-C1)
