Ceramics

We will cover the basic techniques and vocabulary associated with hand-building, wheel throwing, glazing, and firing in this one semester introductory ceramics class. Hand-building projects include pinch pots, slab pots, coil pots, and functional and non-functional sculptures. Wheel projects include cylinders, cups, and bowls. The class usually concludes with a trip to the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, after which you will be required to complete a final project based on inspiration from other artists.
