Description

This course introduces the student to ceramics through historical, theoretical and practical investigations. An understanding of the ways clay has been used by different cultures at different times will inform the student as to why certain conventions have been established in the medium. An emphasis is placed on the ideas and practices of contemporary ceramics. Practical work is carried out in such a way that demonstration and application will be developed in graduated stages so that the potential for a satisfying result is continually expanded.

Note/s: Paddington Campus.
