Location

Faculty
Anna Danyang Song,
Ceramics artist; assistant sculpture manager, BFA Fine Arts Department, School of Visual Arts
Since antiquity, ceramics has used raw materials to express artistic themes related to human ontology. Students will explore the relationships among ceramic art and the human body, perception and emotion, whether physical or mental, using clay as a base material to create works based on personal interest. The course will begin with historical images of artworks related to clay, the body and emotion. Students will then be introduced to fundamental hand-building techniques in clay, including pinch and coil building, as well as ceramic glazing and firing processes. Demonstrations, individual critique, lectures, group discussions and specific technique help will be provided.
NOTE: The studio fee includes safety equipment, hand tools, kiln use and access to only the ceramics workshop during posted open access hours, based on facility availability. All other materials must be purchased by the student. The ceramics workshop cannot accommodate large volumes of work due to class loads, shelf space and kiln space. Continuing education students taking a ceramics course are limited to 15 reasonably sized pieces per semester. All work that is to be fired must be accompanied with a firing tag. This course is held on campus at SVA.
