This course will focus on an exploration of the cohesive combination of utilitarian forms creating a set or piece specific to a drink, food, or experience. As the maker you will decide how forms will relate with one another and curate the interaction with the user or viewer. We will begin with designing sets utilizing drawings and paper cutouts then bring the sets to life with an emphasis on craftsmanship. Students will further develop wheel throwing skills and learn different techniques used when creating a range of utilitarian forms.

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” or “4D3B Red 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.
