ESYC-3201 - Ceramics (Ages 11-12):July 15-19

Course Description

In this summer camp students will learn different clay techniques such as: pinching, coiling, slab building, carving, texturing and throwing on the potter's wheel. Students will use these skills to create many different items; there are no limitations to what they can make or create. The class will focus on functional objects as well as sculptural art pieces, and will provide an exciting experience of the fundamentals and nature of clay. Everyone will have many pieces to take home and be proud of for years to come.

NOTE: Weekly Themes
July 8-12: All things clay
July 15-19: Food

Food (July 15-19)
Burgers! Spaghetti! Sushi and more! Students will explore different ways of creating form, surface and texture to create witty functional food themed objects as well as nonfunctional sculptural objects. A burger that comes apart to serve as coasters, or a multilayered cake that functions as a storage jar! Students will be able to discuss with the instructor their ideas to make anything come to life!
