Fall 2025 Instructors:

This course will teach mold-making or wheel-throwing (depending on the individual student's interest) with a view to creating ceramic objects suitable for commercial mass-production. Both tableware and/or sculptural objects will be explored. For the wheel-throwing option the students must have at least one year of high school throwing or AD 24200 with a grade of at least "B" or permission of instructor. For the mold making and casting option only, students must be an Art and Design student or have permission of instructor.

Learning Outcomes

1The student will learn how to design a model, make the model from clay, make a mold of the designed model (or found object), cast and assemble cast ceramics pieces for possible commercial mass-production. If choosing the wheel-throwing option, the student will learn advanced techniques of throwing and assembling parts to make either functional and sculptural objects for mass-production.

2Students will also learn simple glazing techniques, and have the option of learning how to screen print and use decals on their final products.
