March 26th, 2013:
Timing:
10:00 - Hello, see what you have been working on etc.
10:10 - Ceramics: slide show: different building techniques
10:20 – Demonstrate different methods of making:
Slab
Coil
Pinch
Make sure there
are no air pockets!!!!! = Bad explosion = not cool.
Score and slip –
other wise the objects fall off. They
won’t stay connected
10:30 – Students design what they’d like to make.
The
focus this time is on “functional” work because this is the only work we will
be able to glaze after it is fired. Might
take 2 weeks approximately.
10:40 - student work
time:
If
the student finishes early – they can complete anything left over from their
paper Mache sub structure, or make ceramic sculpture.
10:50 –

For next week always bring along:
Sketchbook
For next week - optional to bring along:
We are doing paper
Optional Post to blog (option) or add to the course sketchbook. I will post information there and if
interested the visual examples given to the students
Optional Homework:
• Outside of class: Seeking inspiration: Find 4- 6 + images of
things that interest you visually. It
can be art, objects, toys, clothing, colors etc.
• Ceramics can make anything!!! If you so desire and want to make more things
we are using: LOW FIRE EATHENWARE CLAY: From Continental Clay – which I love.
Any other additional
things a student may make over the week must be out of this clay (*purchased on
their own) – and out of any clay body listed at that link. I recommend Low Fire
