Students from majors across RIT fused historical knowledge, modern fabrication processes and various pottery practices to create replicas of ancient Greek vessels. The assignment was part of the Josiah Wedgwood's Legacy course, a ceramics class for non-majors that exemplifies RIT's strategic focus on technology, the arts and design.
Taught by Assistant Professor Peter Pincus, the class explores parallels between innovative methodologies in ceramics and manufacturing in the 18th century and the role modern fabrication processes play in those fields today.
