Ceramics is the art and process of making objects from clay, which is shaped and then fired in a kiln to harden. The process begins with molding the clay into desired forms, such as pots, vases, or sculptures. After shaping, the clay is fired at high temperatures to make it durable and solid. The finished pieces can be decorated with glazes or paints before a final firing. Ceramics can include both functional items like dishes and artistic works like sculptures.
