Introduction to Clay Bodies Online is a three-month course focused on the science behind clay bodies. No more myths and legends about how clay bodies work, only facts and science. The course provides information and science to help everyone utilize clay bodies in ways that will help them take control of their materials and make their studios the best they can be.

This course aims to develop a basic understanding of the following. The origins, chemical composition, properties, and function of clay types including earthenware, stoneware, and porcelain. The processing and usage of clay formulas. Clay formulas: analysis and performance. The applications of clay formulas: throwing, construction and casting. The tenants of heat and temperature and clay flaws: identification and correction.

Introduction to Clay Bodies consists of 14 on-demand video lectures presented over 4 months. The on-demand format is designed for the educational needs of the ceramicist. Students can engage with the teachers in bi-weekly, live, online discussions. They can discuss the class with the teachers and other students. We will discuss the questions from the class that arise, as well as explore experiments and the studio in general. In addition, students are provided with discussion forum for each lecture, so they may start the conversation, there and then.
