VARTS 334 - Intermediate Wheel Throwing
Prerequisites: VARTS 234 or permission of the instructor
Fulfills a course requirement in the Visual Arts: Sculpture and Ceramics Core Concentration Prerequisite
Intermediate Wheel Throwing offers students the opportunity to create both functional and purely sculptural forms in clay, with the use of the potter’s wheel. While concentrating on techniques of clay construction and finishing, we will also explore the aesthetics and rich history of the material. Students will increase their control of the material as they explore making lidded forms, pouring vessels, and pots-out-of-round. Engobe and glaze testing will proceed as a way to enhance and both form functional. Kiln processes will be practiced, including kiln maintenance, proper loading, accurate firing, and theory. Each student will complete this class with a body of work which expresses a deeper and more personal understanding of ceramics as a useful and expressive medium.
