Course Objectives	This course aims to provide students with the advance knowledge and skill for designing and producing ceramic products by using plaster model and mould.
Learning Outcomes	The students who succeeded in this course; Make functional ceramic products by using plaster model and mould. Practice the methods of modeling and mould making by using plaster material. Study with alternative production techniques and different materials. Improve the technical knowledge and skills for designing with the ceramic material. Student will be able to improve knowledge and design culture by preparing presentation on a designer specialized on ceramic objects.
Course Description	In this course students are learning and practicing how industrial ceramic objects producing with clay material by using plaster mould techniques.Students practice the stages starting from the draft; preparing plaster or clay model, mould making in single or multiple parts, forming in the mould with casting or pressing methods, in order to produce functional ceramic products.
