An introduction to creating basic ceramic vessels and sculptures. Through demonstrations and hands-on learning, students will learn both wheel and hand-building techniques and be involved with glaze testing. Mid-range temperature clay (cone 6) will be used to explore both commercial under-glazes and home-made glazes. Through the completion of several projects, students will experience basic properties of clay and discover the diverse range of glazes and methods to finish work. Demonstrations will be divided equally between hand-building, wheel and finishing. This course is designed for beginners and intermediate level students.
