ART 2220 - Ceramics: Wheel Throwing
Credits: 3
Course Type: Studio
In this class, students will learn intermediate wheel-throwing skills and basic glaze chemistry. Students will be introduced to gas kiln firings and will understand the difference between an oxidation and reduction atmosphere in a kiln. Students will gain familiarity with artists who use wheel processes to explore contemporary content and design, and are encouraged to experiment with their forms and surfaces. Students will become confident in the ceramics studio through the exploration of clay and glaze chemistry, as well as the conceptual development of their creative works.
