MS Ceramics

In Ceramics, students explore a variety of techniques with clay as they create vessels, tableware, sculpture, and installation work. As they research and use sketchbooks to develop their ideas, members of the class make original artwork and investigate the expressive and cultural properties of three-dimensional forms. Each year, students in this class collaborate to organize and run AC’s annual Empty Bowls fundraiser, a silent auction event that benefits the hungry.

Hand-built, Low-Fire Clay Work

This work highlights each student’s varied technique and expression. Middle Schoolers used mold-making, coil-building, sculpture, and hybrid techniques to assemble these forms. Each piece was glazed and fired to Cone 05.
