This course will deal with all phases of ceramics from slab construction to bowl making and a good deal of effort will go into considering a variety of sculptural possibilities at a foundation level. This course covers the broadest range of ceramic techniques and information. The emphasis in the second semester will be on combining the various techniques and concepts acquired previously into a working order, as well as an exposure to additional technical and conceptual information. Those students starting ceramics in second semester will be given individual assistance in beginning techniques.

Kiana was one of the best professors I've had here! I had her for Print & Books and it was truly such an engaging and fun course - she was so supportive during our projects and created such a good class environment. Highly recommend!! :)
