    Description
    This course continues exploration of 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. Plaster mold making will be investigated along with developing kiln firing and glaze mixing techniques. Broadening and deepening technical aspects of hand-building will be combined with further aesthetic exploration. This course will continue investigations of ceramic design, decoration, and glazing. Lab assignments focus on hand-building techniques and glazing.
