Ceramics as art

Ceramics as art involves creating objects from clay and shaping them through techniques like molding, sculpting, or wheel-throwing. Artists may add glazes and finishes, then fire the pieces in a kiln to achieve durability, beauty, and texture. Beyond functional ware, ceramic art includes sculptures, installation pieces, and expressive forms that explore aesthetics, culture, and personal expression. It combines craftsmanship with creativity, transforming raw materials into meaningful works of art that can be both functional and visually compelling.
