Description

This course provides an introduction to basic processes and technology associated with the construction and firing of studio based work in clay. Students develop familiarity with key skills and materials used in translating ideas to objects, establishing a sound foundation from which to continue study in the ceramic discipline. Practical work is contextualised within the historical, theoretical and critical considerations/debates that frame contemporary ceramic practice. In particular, projects give prominence to disparate contemporary interpretations of the vessel and associated notions of containment.
