This week in Introduction to Ceramics I demonstrated Slab construction to students. Each student will be constructing a Cylinder with texture on the exterior surface and they will also construct a Box with exterior texture to be turned in for grades. The classes will be working with slab for the next two weeks to give time to work to dry and for pieces that break.

Advanced Ceramics are finishing up Pinch Pots. Student now are constructing Teapots that are standard in size and function. Students will also build cups that match their Teapots. These projects will take up to two weeks to construct and dry.
