How much do you know about ceramics? Do you know what you like? This program invites you first to:

- Reflect on your own likes and dislikes.
The program then introduces:
- Traditional ceramic processes,
- Ways ceramic artists use proportions (size relationships) and profiles
And concludes by featuring:

- With a special emphasis on expressive patterns.
