Ceramics encompasses objects made from clay that are shaped and hardened by heat. As fine art, ceramics includes hand-built, wheel-thrown, and slip-cast forms that prioritise aesthetic and conceptual concerns alongside functional ones — or abandon function entirely. Glazing, firing technique, and surface treatment are central to the ceramic artist's practice. There has been a significant revival of ceramics as a fine art medium in recent years.
