SECTION DESCRIPTION

This course has been designed as an introduction to handbuilding ceramics with a focus on teaching ceramics. The class aims to provide a foundation for teaching ceramics through a variety of hands-on learning experiences and lively discussions. Introductory ceramic techniques (like basic pinch, slab and coil methods) will be shared and then built upon for a more sophisticated understanding. Additionally, students will leave the course with fired examples that they can use for lessons for teaching ceramics to young people (PK to 12th grade). Students will also be introduced to types of glazes, a variety of surface decoration techniques, tips and tricks for the studio, types of clay, tools, electric kiln firing and some contemporary artists using the techniques you are learning.

Estimated Cost of Materials: $50.00
