CRAM 323: Ceramics: Surface + Decoration

The relation between surface and form is a central concept of ceramics. This class explores that relation between bi-dimensionality and 3D space, at the material, technical, formal and conceptual levels. A wide range of surface treatments and a variety of materials at diverse temperatures are explored. Projects are assigned toward experimentation and self-directed studio work permits a reworking for personal investigations. Studio work, demonstrations, researches and presentations, discussions and critiques are an integral part of this class.
