ARST 3312 - Contemporary Crafts

Three credit hours.

An introductory course introducing students to the four areas of Contemporary Craft: wood, metal, ceramics and fiber through demos and assignments. The course will focus on developing proper technique associated with each material, developing a personal design aesthetic through the making of one-of-a-kind objects as well as the development of a high level of craftsmanship. This course will require some use of hand and power tools while students develop items from each area.
