In this course students will develop a deeper understanding of utilitarian drinking vessels. As a class we will explore forms from history and contemporary ceramics. Cups, mugs, tumblers and other drinking vessels offer an endless amount of exploration of the elements that come together to bring balance to the visual and functional aspects of the forms you will create.
(In the event that BAC has to cancel a class session due to weather or facility emergencies, please note the pre-scheduled makeup date for this course will be Thursday, July 20. More information on our policies for cancellations can be found HERE.)

CLASS MATERIALS
Students registering for this class must purchase the Ceramics Class Materials Fee including clay, glazing, and firing. If you have leftover clay purchased from BAC in the last year, the clay purchase requirement can be waived. Please be sure to mention this in the "NOTES/ADDITIONAL INFORMATION" section of your registration. Per the instructor's recommendation, students registering for this class should purchase the “95400 White Clay” option.
There is a materials/firing fee is for every 25 lbs (sleeve) of clay used. This fee goes towards glaze materials and firing costs (fuel, electricity, etc). Choose from white, red, porcelain or reclaimed (mix of camp and white) clay. More clay can be purchased if needed.
Due to the rise in cost from the supplier, Berkshire Art Center has raised the price of clay as of 9/21/2023.
