CRAM 203: Ceramics: Handbuilding

Investigates the hand-building process to create forms from both a conceptual and technical basis. Students develop an understanding and control of hand-building, learn to fire electric and gas kilns, and become familiar with glazing and surfacing materials. In addition, students acquire practical, critical, and historical tools to consider ceramics within contemporary culture and current art practices. Demonstrations, discussions, and presentations are regularly scheduled. Assigned and self-directed projects are developed and discussed in critiques.

Priority is given to CRCP and VIAR students in Year 2. Students outside of the registration priority group may register/waitlist for this course as of the registration rule release date.
