Students will elect a course of study in either: wheel-throwing or hand-building. Advanced students will learn fundamentals of running a ceramics studio and assist with loading and firing of kilns. The student will make ceramic projects, fire, glaze them and take them home. The completed ceramic projects also may be used for student portfolios when pursuing admittance to an undergraduate fine arts program.
