Description: This course focuses on the potter’s wheel to investigate conceptual and utilitarian ideas associated with vessel and sculpture making. Students investigate both traditional and contemporary approaches to working with ceramics. In addition to building skill on the potter’s wheel, topics of study include contemporary and historical uses of the potter’s wheel and an introduction to high fire atmospheric firing. Assigned projects are given in sequence with the underlying goal of building toward fluid proficiency with use of the potter’s wheel and of ceramic materials.
