CERAMICS
In ceramic classes, students will learn how to work with their hands using various methods. These methods include hand-building, wheel-throwing, and pinch pot and coils techniques using slabs of clay. Students will learn how to mold and manipulate the clay and apply glazes, in addition to simple ceramic vocabulary and an understanding of firing techniques.
