Middle School Ceramics.
Beginning Ceramics is to familiarize students with the properties of clay. They learn all basic techniques of building, working in a studio and also surface glazing methods. Clay being so malleable allows it to be made into anything, from functional coffee mugs to large abstract sculptures.
Students get to work with different types of glazing from underglazes, stains, cone 6 glazes, food sa and Raku. Students must always began with preliminary sketches and ideas that they have come up with in their research.
