CR2253: Intermediate Wheel-Poetry of Pottery

The intermediate wheel class will delve into beakers, vase's, and pitchers through weekly assignments using the pottery wheel. Just as a poet contemplates the nuances of language, the class will consider the aesthetic vocabulary of volume, material and physical traces. Students will make and use hand-made brushes as one means to investigate the interrelationship of form and surface decoration. The nuance of slip and glaze application will be explored; projects will be fired in a high temperature gas kiln.

This course is occasionally cross-listed with CR1253: Introduction to the Wheel. Students should enroll in the version of the course appropriate for their skill level.

The following prerequisites are required for this course:
CR1250 or CR1253 Introduction to the Wheel; or permission from the department (Continuing Education students should email ceadvisor@corcoran.org).
