Objectives By the completion of this subject students should be capable of formulating, carrying out and analysing the results of a major ceramic investigation; have developed the technology for a specific area of ceramic media; demonstrate disciplined and self-motivated work habits; and be developing some understanding of professional critical attitudes to their medium.

Synopsis Students are required to submit a proposal for work over this and the next semester. Three and four-week cycles of production are encouraged, but will vary with the creative intentions of the individual. Specialisations should be emerging and may develop in areas of majolica, low fire, raku, stoneware, saltfire, woodfire or any area for which staff and facilities can be made available. Technical back-up continues as appropriate and experimentation is encouraged.
