    Description
    This course explores the use of hand-building with clay as an expressive and utilitarian medium. Lectures will highlight the use of this versatile medium from contemporary, western and non-western cultures and historical perspectives, and students will research and discuss historical examples and apply them to their projects. Various forms 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 hand-building techniques and glazing.
