Course Description: Are you someone who enjoys combining art and science? If so, this course may be for you. Photography on clay is still an area of discovery, and in previous sessions, we barely scratched the surface of understanding the physical and chemical web and the fascinating intersections of organic and inorganic crossover of these two mediums. This class will welcome beginners and returning students. While it is not essential to come to this with a photographic background, some knowledge of the medium or a willingness to learn about it will be helpful.
