Intended for beginner and intermediate level potters, this course will cover basic construction methods like coil and slab. Hump and slump molds and tar paper templates will also be introduced. Historical and contemporary works will be included for inspiration.

Two main projects along with some push-plates will be the focus of this course. The smaller push-plates will be used as test pieces for surface decoration techniques like sgrafitto, carving, etc. Some underglazes and mason stains will be formulated to facilitate the use of these techniques.
