Basic ceramic skills ranging from clay preparation to glaze
application are introduced and practiced. Students employ
a variety of techniques including pinch pot, coil and slab
construction. A creative, problem solving approach to the
design of ceramic forms, surface treatment and glaze application
is stressed. The ability to visualize form and to develop unique
ideas through sketches is a valuable asset for this studio class.
Students who have successfully completed this course and who
wish to have additional handbuilt ceramics experience should
enroll in Art: 3–Dimensional–Advanced.
