Courses

Title Department Catalog Term

Description

This course investigates both on and off-wheel construction techniques. It will explore wheel throwing and various hand building techniques such as: extruding, coil, slab, pinch, slump, and press molding-to produce interpretations of the vessel in contemporary society. The vessel as an enclosure of space is the departure point for discussions that include historical references in a contemporary context, the personal metaphor, and the generation of conceptual and aesthetic development beyond the utilitarian format.
