Intermediate and Advanced Ceramics

This class is an opportunity to build on your existing ceramic skills, experiment with new techniques, and begin developing a more personal approach to making. Throughout our nine sessions, we’ll explore how form, function, surface, and process can work together to communicate an idea, work on the wheel, and through hand-building – Develop technical skills while asking bigger questions about what we make, how we make it, and why. Inspiration can come from almost anywhere, whether it’s walking through a park, cycling through the city, knitting, architecture, a favorite meal, a memory, or an everyday object. You might create a set of vessels that makes eating at home feel like fine dining, translate the patterns of a textile into clay, or explore movement through the shape of a pot. There is no single right direction; The goal is to find something that genuinely interests you and use clay to explore it. This class is about moving beyond making objects simply for the sake of making them, and instead, considering how our work can reflect our interests, experiences, curiosities, and ideas.
