Students will work in series and iterations to create sets, vessels, server ware and presentation pieces in clay. The potter's wheel is an important tool for artists and designers who want to assemble forms using multiple parts. Production techniques will enable students to create multiples, work efficiently and develop a distinct style. Glaze making, glazing and kiln firing will be incorporated into this course. Lectures on historical and contemporary ceramic works will be included to further help students create a personal direction. 3 credits.
