Terracotta speaking

Terracotta as a medium for art

Terracotta means “baked earth” in Italian…terracotta is clay that has been exposed to heat.

Terracotta was first used in prehistoric art. Paleolithic terracotta figures were fired in primitive kilns, created underneath open fires. It has been used throughout history for modeling sculpture and pottery. In the ancient times, the first clay sculptures were dried in the sun after being created. They were then placed in the ashes of open hearths to harden, and then kilns were designed very much like the ones used for pottery today.
