Ceramics II

Catalog description

This course explores the techniques and concepts involved in creating complex hand-built and wheel-thrown vessels and sculptures. Assignments are concept-driven and encourage creative inquiry and independent thought. The emphasis is not only the refinement of skill but the importance of content. Topics include sculptural approaches to clay, the wheel as an idea generating tool, alternative surfacing methods, and other research-driven investigations. Classes consist of technical demonstrations, lectures, practice time, and critiques.
