Ceramics III is the core course of year 3. Evaluation of the participants’ progress is both continuous (the responsibility of each teacher) and formally confirmed, twice a year, with the presence of the head of de-partment. A consistent and diversified body of work will become, all throughout the year, the participants’ individual portfolio. Distinctive characteristics of Ceramics III in the 1st semester: strong emphasis on individual, autonomous work; different working techniques in larger dimensions; building with coils, slabs and carving blocks; using molds, paper clay, gluing techniques; using glazes, pigments and reliefs; different kinds of execution and finishing of pieces; emphasis on experimentation and concentration as conditions of rigor and progress. Attending the firing of the pieces and autonomous handling of the kilns in accordance with the department rules is encouraged.
