Ceramics are clay artworks which are fired and hardened to turn them into ceramic form. Traditionally ceramic articles were made by shaping a clay mixture of different minerals. Once the desired shape was achieved, the articles were fired in a high temperature kiln. The modern art movement in ceramics is experimental. They do not necessarily contain clay. Ceramics can be categorized into two types – Industrial and Fine art.
