DurationThis course is an introduction to ceramics as an art form and mode of communication. Various construction and sculptural techniques will be explored with special attention to the diverse possibilities of clay, including the interplay of a three-dimensional form with surface, and the transformation of clay into ceramic through the firing process. Students will be encouraged to create new forms that respond to their research and philosophical inquiry. The course will consist of demonstrations, discussions, critique and studio time.
Note: The studio fee includes safety equipment, hand tools, kiln use and access to only the ceramics workshop during posted open access hours, based on facility availability. All other materials must be purchased by the student.
The ceramics workshop cannot accommodate large volumes of work due to class loads, shelf space and kiln space. Continuing education students taking a ceramics course are limited to 15 reasonably sized pieces per semester. All work that is to be fired must be accompanied with a firing tag. This course is held on campus at SVA.
With a faculty of distinguished working professionals, dynamic curriculum and an emphasis on critical thinking, SVA is a catalyst for innovation and social responsibility.
This class will take the beginner through basic ceramic hand-building techniques and introduce them to wheel throwing. More advanced students will work on creative individual projects to master skills and design.
This class is fantastic for kids for so many reasons. Developmentally, working in clay assists hand-eye coordination. Give a kid a lump of clay and their brain slows down to allow inspiration to manifest.
This class is for those with no clay experience who would like to learn some of the possibilities inherent in the ceramics arena.
Ceramics Workshop is offered by Gallery on the Square.The Gallery on the Square is a retail art gallery which promotes local artists of all mediums.
