Ceramics is an introduction to the clay medium including hand and wheel construction methods, clay mining and processing, making of clay bodies, making glazes, glazing forms, firing in oxidation and reduction atmospheres, and electric, gas and wood firing kilns. Classes participate in special processes such as Raku firing, pasture firing, or fuming. The first three quarters of the class students learn fundamental information and processes and then elect a final project and proceed in advanced topics. The history of ceramics will be addressed through lecture, video, and museum visits.
