Arts and Communication Magnet Academy – Ceramics 1 (F321X)

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

This course is designed for the high school student who wants to explore working with clay. Students may have some experience or not, as projects are aimed toward building and improving skills. The focus begins with hand building techniques; and throwing on the wheel is introduced later in this course. Students make projects that are functional (pots, bowls, etc.) and take on making sculptural projects as well. As the course continues, students learn about various glazing methods. We discuss ceramics from history and other cultures as they relate to projects. This course may be repeated for credit. Mastery (grade of A or B) is required to continue on to Ceramics 2. A materials fee may be applied to this course.
