This is a delight directed course for students who can demonstrate independent confidence with clay. prerequisite: a demonstrated ability to be self directed after completing beginning ceramics classes with Miss Sia or myself.
Most importantly students must have a desire to create with clay and are willing to outline their own project objectives for the term. Examples: I want to make a matching set of cups and saucers, I want to make jewelry pieces, I want to sculpt garden art.
We can then discuss a quantity and time line for each project and then the student will be expected to work on their own during class. I am here to help any way they need, but I will not be lecturing.
Requirements:
Students must be able to identify the stages of clay: plastic, bone dry, greenware, bisque and glazed.
Students must be able to describe “slip and score”
Students can correctly place work in progress on the proper staging areas.
If desiring to throw on the wheel, they may show that they have taken wheel throwing with Miss Sia or myself.
Students will submit sketch’s or reference photos, before the first day of class, with projects they desire to complete.

The Greenhouse Project! Join us for this year long Engineering course in which students will apply STEM concepts to continue a student led design for a greenhouse classroom for the resource center. They will learn real world skills such as: drafting, website design, prototyping, marketing, design modeling, applied mathematics, and teamwork while they work together to develop a functional greenhouse design that can be built and utilized at the resource center. At the end of the year students will showcase their design as well as their inactive website when they present their work to the center and the gardening teachers, and if accepted, it may be implemented for real!
