To experience the full scope of hand-building in clay, you will explore various construction techniques, surface treatments using glazes, and different firing methods including saggar, gas and electric firing. Demonstrations and slide presentations will provide technical instruction as well as creative inspiration. All techniques are open to personal interpretation. Hand-building and glazing methods are applicable to functional, decorative, and sculptural ceramics. |

| This course is an introduction to the medium of clay-the most basic art material-and its conversion to fired ceramic. We will expand and realize with construction methods of hand-building and wheel-forming, ideas that can be quickly modeled in three dimensions and drawn on or into the surface of clay. Basic use of fire, glaze at low and high temperatures, and raku will be covered. Weekly dialogues, monthly critiques, and a review at the end of the semester will demonstrate depth of progress with congruity of conception and material. Studio time outside of class is recommended. It also is highly recommended that students complete this course before taking intermediate and advanced clay courses. No prior knowledge is required. |
