Students dive into the science behind ceramics in this clay-focused workshop, going beyond myths to gain a solid, scientific understanding of how clay bodies work. This course is designed to empower participants with the knowledge to control materials and optimize studio practices as they learn the origins, composition, and properties of earthenware, stoneware, and porcelain. They learn how to analyze and apply clay formulas for throwing, construction, and casting. Students will master the principles of heat and temperature and learn to identify and correct common clay flaws, building a strong, fact-based foundation to transform their work.
