In this course, students will build on techniques already learned, such as coiling, slab work and throwing on the wheel. Slip-trailing, carving and sgraffito and other surface techniques will be explored to create texture and pattern. Students will be encouraged to combine these construction and decorative techniques to create functional and/or sculptural pieces. The focus of this course is to engage in the exploration of new forms and various surface treatments to enhance clay work and finished pieces. This course includes demonstrations, discussion of material and design theory, studio health and safety and constructive analysis.
