Description

Ceramics Intensive
Students delve into ceramic design through focused exploration of functional‑ware and experimental clay forms. Working in a purpose‑built ceramics studio, they advance their skills in wheel throwing, glazing, and kiln firing while developing a deeper understanding of materiality, craftsmanship, and design thinking. Through surface design, texture, and form, they explore story, culture, and identity. Engagement with contemporary and historical ceramic practices strengthens their technical decision‑making and creative approach to sculptural and functional clay work.
The Art & Design Intensive Programs are yearlong, once-per-week programs designed for students ages 10-19 who wish to dive deep into a focused program area and develop a more thorough and rigorous artistic practice. Students will push themselves on more advanced concepts of craft and technique and develop close community in a supportive environment. At the core of the curriculum is the enhanced development of each students’ voice through close mentorship and expanded learning opportunities such as group critique and exhibition. Regular attendance is required.
