ceramic sculptures

Clay art pieces

Ceramic sculptures are three-dimensional artworks made from clay or other ceramic materials, shaped and then hardened through firing at high temperatures.

Unlike functional pottery, ceramic sculptures are created primarily as art objects—figures, abstract forms, or decorative pieces: The gallery featured ceramic sculptures by local artists.

The medium ranges from delicate porcelain to rough stoneware.
