Modern Ceramic Art

What Is A Ceramic Artist?

Some ceramics, such as pottery and sculptures, are regarded fine art. The majority, on the other hand, are considered decorative, industrial, or applied art artifacts. In archaeology, ceramics can be considered artifacts.

Ceramic art can be created by a single individual or a group. A group of individuals work at a pottery or ceramic factory to design, manufacture, and decorate the art ware.

“Art pottery” is a term used to describe pottery products. Ceramists or potters create studio pottery in a one-person pottery studio.

Meet Ceramic Artist Ed

Hello, my name is Ed, I’m a potter and ceramic artist from Murfreesboro, Tennessee, who specializes in beautiful ceramic wall decor artwork.

I like making ceramic wall art that isn’t like traditional pottery manufactured on a potter’s wheel. Each piece of art is the result of years of honing clay-working techniques. Years of trial and error go into each beautiful ceramic artwork.

What Is Earthenware?

Earthenware is formed of clay that is heated at low temperatures (between 1,000 and 1,150 degrees Celsius). The finished product is porous and gritty, and it is then glazed and heated again.

What is Stoneware?

Stoneware is made of clay that is vitrified, or fired at a high temperature (1,200°C) until it has the consistency of glass. Because stoneware is non-porous, any glaze added to it is only for aesthetic purposes.

What Is Porcelain?

Porcelain is a translucent white ceramic that is extremely durable. To manufacture it, finely powdered glass, granite, and feldspar materials are combined with water until the mixture is pliable. The finished objects are fired between 1,200°C and 1,450°C, then glaze-coated and fired again.
