CAEL3026: Advanced Ceramics: The Potter's Wheel
2025 unit information
This advanced unit in ceramic wheelthrowing is for students who already have some prior experience on the potter's wheel and would like to extend their knowledge. You will receive instruction in the creation of complex forms such as lidded vessels, platters and handled objects alongside their contemporary histories and philosophies of the handmade. Based on these initial activities, students will then design and create an individual project for a final body of work in consultation with their lecturer, which may be functional or sculptural in focus.
