Independent Study in Ceramics
anytime other than class times
Instructor: Darrell Finnegan [email]
This is 24 hour access for independent ceramics work, no instruction provided.
Working independently in the clay studio requires previous Advanced or Intermediate level classes experience. No exception.
Your independent use of the studio will require some studio chores (like in a private studio) This may be cleaning or recycling clay or mixing the occasional bucket of glaze, perhaps helping with the kilns. Guidance will be available. This will be an opportunity to perhaps schedule a kiln loading with a partner or learn glaze making skills. Independent use of the clay studio is an excellent opportunity for individuals to focus on an idea and move it forward.
