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.
