    Description
    This course explores the use of clay and the pottery wheel as an expressive and utilitarian medium. Lectures will highlight the use of this versatile medium from contemporary, cultural, and historical perspectives, and students will research and discuss historical examples and apply them to their projects. Pottery shapes requiring singular form components will be investigated along with an introduction to kiln firing and glaze mixing. This course will introduce development of personal imagery as well as ceramic design, decoration, and glazing. Lab assignments focus on throwing techniques and glazing. Students will purchase clay and tools.
