*Working Calendar for Handbuilt Ceramics
Spring Semester 2011
*The working calendar for ceramics is an approximation of how I expect we will work through the projects.  Sometimes we will be ahead but, more likely we may fall behind.  That's why it's considered a working calendar.  We will finish all of the projects and we will move through the calendar in as timely a fashion as the work and scheduling allows.
