ceramic sculpture

Ceramic sculpture is a three-dimensional artwork created by shaping and molding clay, then firing it in a kiln to harden. Artists can carve, model, or assemble clay into varied forms, often adding textures and details. The firing process makes the sculpture durable and sometimes allows for glazing—adding glass-like finishes that enhance color and surface effects. Ceramic sculpture combines craftsmanship and artistic expression, ranging from abstract shapes to realistic figures. It’s valued for its versatility, tactile qualities, and the ability to produce both functional and purely decorative pieces.
