Students will investigate the malleable qualities of clay by designing and making both sculptural and functional clay objects. Within a contemporary visual art context, students will explore the natural elements of clay by learning hand-building techniques such as coil building, slab construction, pinch, and throw on the potters wheel. Students will also learn the safe use of tools and equipment and gain an understanding of clay as a material through the processes of making clay, creating glazes, and traditional pit firing.
