Winter 2020
This is not the current course catalog
Class Details
This course will provide students with a foundation in the ceramic process, its history, and its evolving role in contemporary art. We will explore a variety of construction methods, hand building techniques, glazing, and firing. Through lectures, demonstrations, and group discussion, we will think critically about the role of this ancient material in both fine art and everyday life. Emphasis will be placed upon experimentation; conventions will be learned and disrupted.
Students will develop a personal language in the material, exhibiting an independent project at the end of the term. Work will be evaluated both conceptually and technically during a final group critique.
Regular attendance and active participation are essential. We will meet twice a week in three-hour sessions. Students are expected to spend a significant amount of time outside of class working independently.
