ceramics in sculpture

Ceramics in sculpture refer to artworks created by shaping and firing clay or similar materials. Artists mold clay into desired forms, then bake them in a kiln to harden and preserve the shape. This process can produce both functional objects and expressive, abstract pieces. Ceramic sculptures often highlight texture, surface detail, and craftsmanship, allowing for diverse styles and finishes—such as glazed or unglazed surfaces. They’re valued for their durability, versatility, and historical significance, connecting contemporary art to ancient traditions of pottery and sculpture worldwide.
