DGL-252 KILFORMING WITH IMAGERY
This course will introduce students to a variety,kilnforming approaches to translating 2D design,and drawings into fused, slumped, and cast glass,forms. Students will create a personal body of,work using image oriented techniques such as,photo-sandblast resist, enameling, powder fusing,,emulsion transfer and engraving in decorative,,functional and sculptural pieces.
Credits: 3
Prerequisites: DGL-142, DGL-170
DGL-347 ADVANCED GLASS PROJECTS
In this course students engage in research and,ideation exercises to create self directed,projects in glass. Students are guided to develop,narrative and concept in their work and are,encouraged to undertake original research in the,glass fabrication processes and techniques.,Students may choose to work in glassblowing, kiln,forming, coldworking or a combination of multiple,techniques to complete their work. The outcome of,this course is a cohesive body of work that will,help build students’ professional portfolio.

DME-176 BLK PATTERN DEVELOPMENT
This beginning course is a semester long intensive,study into the development of pattern in both,ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Using forge,welding and diffusion, this course covers simple,layering processes to composites and mosaic,patterning methods. Throughout the semester each,student assembles a journal comprised of weekly,clay pattern experiments, and production notes.,Journals are then photocopied and compiled into,reference books of techniques and patterns.

Prerequisites:
DME-376 BLK ADVANCED PATTERN DEVELOPMENT
This course is a semester long intensive study of,the development of pattern on both ferrous and,non-ferrous metals. Using forge welding and,diffusion, participants explore layering processes,of developing composites and mosaic patterns in,steel using power hammer methods. Twisting, stock,reduction, and book match patterning techniques,are presented. Advanced students research,patterned steel of an historic precedent and,develop pattern samples that reflect a technical,lineage. Throughout the semester each student,assembles a journal comprised of weekly clay,pattern experiments, and production notes.,Journals are then photocopied and compiled into,reference books of techniques and patterns.

Prerequisites: DME 276
DCE-105 WHEEL THROWING
Learn to use the potter’s wheel as an expressive,tool! Traditional techniques and forms are,covered, such as teapots, plates, bowls and,covered containers. The aim is for students to,find their individual expression within the,context of tradition.

Prerequisites:
DCE-490 INDEPENDENT STUDY
Independent Study is available to students who are,at Junior or Senior level standing with a,cumulative grade point average of 3.00 or above.,The student may receive approval to work in an,area or on a project that is not otherwise offered,or addressed in the regular curriculum. An,Independent Study should include opportunities for,individual student voice and provide a space for,diverse perspectives. Students may receive credit,toward graduation for no more than 6 credit hours.,The student must submit to the chairperson of the,department in which they wish to study, an,Independent Study Proposal of 150 words (no less),of the student’s plan for study and her/his reason,for choosing to study independently. Once the,department chairperson provides approval and the,instructor for the Independent Study is,determined, the faculty member must write an,Independent Study Syllabus with education goals,,learning outcomes, meeting dates, course,expectations, timelines, and due dates. Art,Education candidates must pass DAE 490 with a,grade of ‘C’ (2.00) or higher to qualify for,certification.
