Course Outline for CERAMICS II

We will begin with a short overview of the skills you learned in Ceramics I. We will start using the wheel as soon as a schedule can be drafted and weeks will be assigned for the first 8-9 weeks. When on the wheel, students will be required to know the assignment the class is working on and when they return to the tables begin work on that project. There will always be a project being built that students can work on and some projects will overlap other projects to keep everyone working on something. This requires students to keep track of projects and their completion in their folders.
