What are ceramics?

Ceramics is an art form that involves creating objects from clay. The clay is shaped, molded, and formed by hand or with specialized tools, then baked (or fired) in a high-temperature oven called a kiln. Decorative colors and special glazes can be applied to the surface, which are then fired again to finish the piece.

Contemporary art from India

Contemporary art from India dates from 1985 to the present, marking the post-liberalization era. During this period, artists have felt free to create independently of traditional Hindu or social conventions. They often incorporate distinctly Indian materials and objects in their work, reflecting a blend of modern ideas and cultural heritage.

Laser print

A laser print is created by using red, blue, and green lasers to expose photographic silver halide paper. After exposure, the paper is processed with photographic chemicals to produce an archival-quality print. This digital technology results in sharp images with highly uniform color and excellent detail.

Relief printing

Relief printing is a printmaking process where the design to be printed is etched or cut into a surface, leaving only the raised areas to transfer ink. The non-printing areas are removed, so only the design is inked and printed. Common relief printing techniques include woodcut, linocut, and wood engraving.
