Ceramic Science
An examination of practical and experimental approaches to applied chemistry as it relates to the ceramic arts. Students will learn the theory behind clay and glaze formulation, test a wide array of materials interactions; and learn practical skills in developing vitreous bodies, glass forming substances, and metallic oxide pigments.
Outcomes: Students will be able to demonstrate knowledge of inorganic compounds and their useful combinations in formulating ceramic bodies, glazes, and pigments; demonstrate knowledge of the effects of firing temperature and atmosphere on ceramic formulations; demonstrate knowledge of safe lab practices in the ceramics studio.
