clay sculpture

Clay sculpture is an art form where artists shape and mold soft, pliable clay into three-dimensional objects or figures. The artist uses their hands and various tools to add, carve, and refine details. Once the sculpture is finished, it can be dried and fired in a kiln to harden permanently, or left as a temporary piece. Clay is versatile, allowing for both quick modeling and detailed work. It has been used for thousands of years to create art, functional objects, or expressive forms, making it a fundamental and accessible medium in sculpture.
