“It’s
more set up like an art institute; we’re not only learning from Sam, but we
follow personal investigations, and as well learn from each other,” says
Advanced Ceramic Course student Alanna Jane. Advanced Ceramic course, more
commonly known as “third year” for most Studio Art students, is the class for
the experienced ceramic artists who are interested in investigating the new
techniques and self-motivated projects.
The
Advanced Ceramic course is designed for the artists with at least two years of
pottery-related experience, and since all of the members have different
background of knowledge, it’s common to find them discussing various topic
during their class time.
“[Learning
in ceramic class] is like a conversation,” Jane says. “We’re inspired by each
other in class. Because each person in this class has different experience,
some people might have a technique that’s easier than what you might have been
doing.”
The
semi-annual Pottery Sale features handmade ceramic goods made by the Advanced Ceramic
course artisans as well as first and second-year Studio Art students. The Summer
Pottery Sale will be held Apr. 27-28 in the Maple building.
