Coronado High School – Ceramics 1 and 2

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

Here is a chance to get your hands dirty. Experience the thrill of clay by using hand-building and wheel-throwing techniques. Create original three-dimensional forms. Learn the difference between functional and non-functional ceramics. An emphasis will be placed on the elements and principles of design to plan and create your pieces. Spinning round and round? Or are you feeling more grounded? Either way, this is the class for you! Spend your time on the potter’s wheel, hand building and combining the two. Reduction, low and high firing techniques will be covered. Create vessels, mugs, and plates on the wheel. Sculptural, non-functional pieces will also be designed.
