Watkins College of Art
In the Spring of 2019 I had the privilege of teaching Ceramics as an adjunct professor at Watkins College of Art. ART 251 Sec. 01 was an overview of ceramic processes, introducing students to various hand building, wheel throwing, slip/glaze applications, and kiln firing processes. Projects dealt with aesthetic concerns common to both sculpture and vessel making. The enlargement project was my favorite. Students were asked to enlarge an object of their choice, from boots to soda cans to snails. It was so fun!
