Ceramics (Handbuilding)
DESA9014
This practical unit aims to give students the understanding to create hand built ceramic constructions that will be fired and glazed. Students will explore the plastic properties of clay as well as glazing, underglazing and surface treatments. There will be an investigation of hand built ceramics at both historical and contemporary levels. Set projects will enable students to discover their own means of expression and design of vessels and sculptural forms. Projects include slab and coil construction and combinations of coil, slab and pinch construction. Various surface finishes such as brushwork, glazing and sculptural relief applications will be introduced including coloured under glazes, slips and glazes. Students will be expected to produce a research process journal and report on how a particular artist/s or art movement has informed or influenced their final project/s.
