Art Print
Clays have been used since ancient times for everything from art to architecture. Early humans discovered and used clay in prehistoric times. Early artifacts excavated from notable historical sites indicate clay vessels were used for transporting drinking water. These initial pieces were sun dried. That process has become far more advanced in our modern times.
Clays can be mixed with water to create varied levels of flexibility applicable to one of its varied uses. As clay dries, it hardens usually to a point where further manipulation cannot be done. With some clay, you can introduce water a second time to recover some of the flexibility. One has to plan the shape and use in advance to avoid being forced to manipulate the clay a second or third time.
Different types of clay are composed of different types of minerals which affect its properties. Properties include durability and strength over time. The composition of the clay also determines its color. The most common colors range from grey to an orange-red. In addition, the properties of the clay will determine how they are affected when placed in ceramic pottery kilns. Placing clay in a kiln is known as “firing” the clay. By firing the clay, you strengthen the piece and lock in its shape. Once fired, the clay cannot be manipulated even with the addition of more water. Kilns represent the modern version of the sun drying done in prehistoric times.
Clay is often used to make clay art of all types. Although not necessarily functional, clay art can come in many sizes and shapes. The art can also be simultaneously decorative and functional. For example, a colorfully painted pitcher kept on an open shelf might also be taken down to serve lemonade at the next family picnic.
Although we see it everywhere, many people overlook clay art plates hung in offices and homes. Some unique pieces can be carved, painted and fired then ultimately hung on the wall like one might do with a fine art print. It is even possible to frame clay art. One can create designs that are modern or reminiscent of prehistoric times. If one does not have the artistic touch to create their own, this type of art can be purchased at stores and galleries throughout the world. Prices will vary depending on the artist and nature of the work. One clay wall art piece might sell for thousands of dollars at a fine gallery or you might find decorative clay art at your local discount store for fewer than twenty dollars. The bottom line is individual taste. Clay art varies so widely that there is something for everyone.
