    Description
    This advanced course in ceramics is open to all art and non-art majors. The course places a special emphasis on personal growth and aesthetics as well as increased proficiency on the potter’s wheel. Students explore the concepts of management and expressive exploration of the unique characteristics of fired ceramics—both the opportunities and constraints—presented in the processing of clay from a soft, plastic, fragile, impermanent substance into a hard, rigid, and completely metamorphosed material after drying and firing.
