 Ceramic Requirements
for
2005 -06
Instructor Mr. Howell
Mr. Howell's email address rhowell@esu7.org
All projects must be completed to the best ability of each student.
Projects must involve extensive efforts in craftsmanship, form, design and originality. Projects may be functional and non-functional.
It is the responsibility of each student, to clean his or her work area at the end of each day. The sink is used by all students, thus everyone needs to make sure that it is clean or it will be assigned. They also need to place all tools back in the storage area in order to insure safety for themselves and others. The most common tools lost are needle tools and sponges, please keep track of the tools you use!
Notice: Only quality projects will be fired in the kiln. Projects created on the pottery wheel that are to thick will be recycled for future use. Subject to Instructor approval.
All Glazed pots need to have the bottom cleaned before they are placed in the kiln. That is your responsibility. All projects must have name on bottom of project for identification.
