Ceramics I is an introductory studio course in working with clay.  Students grade 10 and above will produce three-dimensional functional and sculptural works of art utilizing a variety of clay techniques and processes.  The main goal of this course is to experiment with mastering the hand-building methods as well as competency in throwing on the wheel.  Students will also have the opportunity to experiment with glazes and clay surface treatments.  The course will also include investigating the history of ceramics and exploring traditional and contemporary clay artists working today.  Because materials for this elective are expensive, there will be an additional fee for

this class.
