Advanced Pottery

1/2 Credit A/B Semester

Advanced pottery is for students who wish to extend and expand exploration of the concepts and skills learned in Pottery. Building on knowledge of the basic clay properties of low fire clays learned in Pottery, students are able to work independently for longer periods of class time. Students will be instructed to develop, design, and construct more advanced clay projects in hand building, wheel throwing, surface ornamentation, mixed media, glazing, and firing techniques. Students will be able to create aesthetic and functional lifetime pieces in this course. Pottery pieces from this class can be a nice addition to a student’s college admissions portfolio.

Prerequisite: Successful completion of Pottery.
Open to grades 11,12.
