Sculpture 

Sculpture is another way to create art. You can use clay, rock, ice, or concrete. Ceramics is one way of sculpting clay to make art. There are many different types of clay that you can use the most common is earthenware. This clay is used for basic sculpting and firing techniques. When the sculpting process is complete the next step is for the piece to be fired in a kiln at 350 degrees Celsius. When this process is complete you can then decide if you want to keep the piece naked, or add a glaze or paint to the piece.

Another type of sculpture is ice sculptures. These can be more tricky to pull off. To do this kind of sculpture you need to be very patient and accurate. Usually ice sculptures are created for important events or gatherings such as weddings. Ice sculptures can be created by using a mallet and chisel..or hand held tools like saws and drills.
