| Advanced Ceramic Sculpture | Students investigate sculptural form and space through the clay process. Diverse, individually-developed projects allow the student to further investigate the technical properties of various clays, surface applications, and firing processes. Emphasis is placed on the development of an individual aesthetic and conceptual vocabulary. | Class |
| Ceramic Sculpture 2: Tools, Techniques, Process | This course focuses on using the potter’s wheel as a tool to make functional and sculptural forms. Emphasis is placed on combining and altering forms made on the wheel, experimenting with low-fire clays, surface slips and glazes, and developing critical skills for looking at art. Students research the works from historical time periods and of contemporary clay artists. | Class |
| Ceramic Sculpture 3: New Directions in Clay | Students incorporate contemporary ceramic sensibilities and techniques into their own work. These methods are explored from the perspective of new directions in contemporary ceramics and the larger art world. Press molds, two-part molds and slip-casting techniques are introduced as well as thinking skills to juxtapose forms into more complex content. | Class |
