“Welcome To Ceramics”: 40 Times Ceramics Enthusiasts Made Something So Cool And Unique, They Just Had To Show It Off In This Online Group
Ceramics are probably the most common of all art forms to have emerged from human history and are one of the oldest inventions. The first evidence of human-made ceramics dates back to at least 24,000 years BC! While the technology and applications have steadily increased, the use of this form of art stayed pretty much the same. Just like before, we make use of ceramics as containers for water and food, art objects, tiles and bricks and so on.
In this article, however, we want to share the most unusual and unique ceramic things that people created, as posted on this subreddit, r/Ceramics. From impressive arm sculptures to exclusive cups, we believe you’ll find some really interesting and beautiful pieces in here.

Usually, when drinking tea or coffee from our favorite cup, we do not think about the processes our mug had to go through to finally reach our home. Whether it’s a one-of-a-kind piece or a mass-manufactured product, there are always some thoughts and efforts put into its design and its making.
Every ceramic piece begins with the preparation of clay followed by actual shaping. When we are finally satisfied with how our article looks, it goes into firing. The final stage is painting and decorating. Of course, the techniques can vary depending on the person and school. Not to mention the different materials that are used when molding an item. You can find more about ceramic techniques here.

Once humans discovered that clay could be formed into something by mixing it with water and then firing, a key industry was born, laying the foundation for what we know now as ceramics.
The oldest known ceramic artifact is a statuette of a woman that dates back to the late Paleolithic period. The first examples of pottery appeared in China several thousand years later (18 000-17 000 BCE).

Made Some Little Blobfish Desk Buddies / Paperweights
Fun fact: Blobfish occupies a habitat some 2,800 metres (9,200 ft) beneath the waves – a zone that's exposed to incredible pressures. In fact, it's actually kind of cute when at its usual depth. However, when it encounters a rapid pressure drop while being hauled to the surface, its gelatinous flesh rapidly expands and makes them a gooey mess we know from pictures and it is totally not fair. EDIT: *sad fact
