This is a delight directed course for students who want more freedom exploring the medium of clay. Students are required to outline their own project objectives for the term. Students may check out books and magazines from our ever-growing library of Ceramic Literature, they will have free access to all the tools in the studio, including wheels, slab roller, hand building tools, etc. Students are expected to be fully responsible for set up and clean-up of their personal project as well. Project ideas: make a matching set of cups and saucers, practice throwing consistent size tumblers, sculpt garden art, create a wall hanging out of tiles. We will discuss a timeline for each project, the student will then be expected to work on their own during class. I will oversee their projects and check in with them weekly. I am on hand the entire class for questions, and inspiration.
Requirements:
This class is a good fit for students who want the freedom to explore the ceramics medium as their curiosity leads them. Students need to practice self discipline and time management and be able to work independently.
ALL NEW CLASS! Have you ever wondered how to become a Graphic Designer? This class is a hands-on class where we will be using CANVA to create all sorts of creative content in our computer lab. There will be an emphasis on color theory, layout, design and marketing. We will be designing advertisements, branding, merchandise and logos for future companies of their choosing. It's going to be a lot of fun learning from real-life examples why marketing advertisements failed to capture the audience they intended and talk about what could have been done differently. This class will show you how to turn the ideas in your head into real, professional-looking designs. See you in class this fall!

The class will be based on the Principles of Design (Balance, Unit, Variety, Emphasis, Movement, Pattern, and Proportion) which can be applied to nearly all creative disciplines. Students will learn about the Principles through presentations, worksheets, and hands-on projects they will complete in class. Some projects may need extra time at home, but that should be minimal.
