A note on personal projects

The Foundations course requires students to closely follow the curriculum, which has been designed by experienced ceramic educators. To ensure getting the most out of this course and to set beginners up for long term success in their pottery journey, we do not encourage working on personal projects during Foundations class, unless they overlap with the scope of the curriculum. To work on personal projects, enrolled students can utilize Open Studio hours.
