One day pass in the Ceramic Class

The sound of the pottery wheel and hands smeared with clay can persuade anyone to sit behind the wheel and mold with this indescribable feeling of comfort and tranquility.

Professor Brian Peshek has been a teacher at Pierce College for over a decade and teaches ceramics. He believes in a balanced approach of teaching art where students can develop pertinent studio skills along with critical thinking abilities.

In the studio students learn hands-on and visual understanding of the raw materials, techniques and concepts. In lectures art is presented through a variety of social, cultural and historical contexts. He hopes to expose students to intellectual and historical models and build their understanding of the past and present as they develop a direction in their own work.
