*Working Calendar for Wheelthrown Clay
ARTD126-02 -Tuesday and Thursday
11:00 am - 1:45 pm
Fall Semester 2010
 
*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 a timely fashion.
