Content focuses on integration of relevant theory from other CCSW courses

CCSW 195 Practicum I provides students with an opportunity to work and observe in an educational or community living setting under the direction of college instructors and on-site staff. The focus of this practicum is to provide students with an opportunity to interact with children or adults with challenging conditions, to develop objective documentation skills and to observe the techniques and

CCSW 196 Practicum II is an opportunity for students to demonstrate their abilities in field settings. It provides students with opportunities to learn experientially and to apply concepts from the classroom. Practicum offers students opportunities to self-evaluate and receive feedback about their knowledge, skills, abilities and attitudes in the field of Education Assistant and Community Support

CERM 101 Wheel 1 is an introduction to working on the wheel. Contemporary methods of altering forms, surface treatments, and handbuilt additions will be emphasized.

In CERM 102 Wheel 2 Students focus on a continued wheel practice that will broaden and refine their techniques and aesthetic approaches for shaping and assembling potter's wheel forms. Strengthening skills and personal directions will be emphasized.

CERM 103 Hand Forming I will be introduced to basic hand forming techniques as well as simple molds and extruded work. The emphasis is on designing and producing innovative forms.

CERM 104 Hand Forming and Molding is a project based course that will engage students in expanding hand forming techniques. Projects will be designed to explore and establish directions in both production and one-of-a-kind ceramics. The emphasis will be on experimentation and developing a personal expression.

CERM 105 Introduction to Glaze Technology and Surface Treatment is an introduction to glaze chemistry and formulation. Students will develop their own personal glaze palette using the raw materials that make up commercial glazes. Other surface treatments covered will include slips, under glaze and screen printing.

In CERM 106 Ceramic Technology II - Surface and Kiln, a confident understanding of the kiln will be integrated with students completing their studio ceramic work. Technology included will be firing cycles, safe practices, maintenance and history. Glaze and surface directions are explored and applied in relation to kiln operation.

In CERM 108 Studio Specific Design, students will develop ceramic forms that examine and experiment with concepts, elements and principles of design. Participation in critical reviews will be central to this course.

CERM 112 Studio 1 – Design for Production. Students will engage in developing a body of work in preparation for production. With weekly critiques, there will be an emphasis on examining individual design issues and resolving technical problems.

CERM 114 Studio 2 – Glaze and Surface Development. Instruction will be weekly seminars and individual focused meetings with the instructor that are based on student's needs and in support of the Design for Studio Production course.

CERM 120 Self-Directed Studio 1. Self directed studio-based exploration where students receive some mentorship. Personal areas of focus are proposed by students. Students develop individual choices and expressions with support and encouragement of faculty advisors.

CERM 300 Directed Studies in Ceramics permits senior students, under the direction of faculty members, to pursue their interest in areas not covered, or not covered in depth, by other courses through a program of independent study.
