CRAM 220: Ceramics: Kiln Building

An overview of kiln technologies is introduced. Various kilns and kiln building methods and materials are presented. The technical, formal, and conceptual aspects of kilns are explored and their effect on the aesthetic results they produce. A specific type of kiln is researched, designed and built by the class, either by each student or as a group project. Repair and maintenance of kilns is covered. Studio work, demonstrations, researches and presentations, discussions and critiques form an integral part of this class.

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.
