Questions About Modernist Ceramic Sculpture
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 20, 2024
    The difference between sculpture and ceramics comes down largely to form and materials. Sculptures are three-dimensional works of art that can be produced out of a variety of materials, such as stone, wood, metal or plaster. Ceramics are decorative objects made out of earthen materials, such as clay. Some sculptures are made of ceramics, but ceramics can also be used to produce other types of objects, such as bowls, vases and dinnerware. Shop a wide variety of sculpture and ceramics on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024
    The difference between ceramics and sculpture comes down to their purpose and materials. Made out of clay, ceramics are usually functional arts, meaning they serve a purpose beyond mere decoration. Examples include vases, bowls and drinkware. Sculpture is fine art. Sculptors use a wide range of materials, such as stone, wood, clay and plaster, to produce three-dimensional pieces that communicate messages, express thoughts and emotions or tell stories. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of ceramics and sculptures.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024
    The difference between sculpture clay and ceramic clay is composition. Sculpture clay usually involves synthetic polymers that make it easy to work into highly complex shapes. Although there are various types of ceramic clay, it generally is a mix of kaolin and ball clay, which are less flexible and stretchy. Due to its properties, it can be formed into more basic shapes. Find a variety of ceramics and sculptures on 1stDibs.
