Description

This course introduces students to basic ceramic processes and materials through engagement with a series of projects that incorporate analysis, instruction/explanation and investigation. The creative potential of various ceramic media and techniques are explored alongside the health and safety issues associated with the ceramic studio. The course is primarily practical in nature, but seeks to place the acquisition of skills within the broader context of art/ceramic history, theory and contemporary practice. Students are expected to display competence in basic studio processes by the end of the session.
