ARST - Ceramics - Tentatively Offered Spring, Summer, & Fall

Ceramics

Cortona has a rich ceramic tradition dating back to the time of the Etruscans, and there are several active clay mines in the vicinity. UGA Cortona Ceramics students therefore use local terra cotta clay for both hand-building and throwing. A basic majolica and low-temperature glaze coupled with slips, stains and terra sigillata provide a broad palette for glazing. The ceramics studio consists of a long, vaulted room that is divided into sections for wheel throwing, hand building, and glaze storage and mixing.
