Muscat,(ONA) - The Omani Society for Fine Arts affiliated to the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Youth held this evening through video conferencing an artistic workshop entitled (Ceramic Sculpture), in which the fine artist Ahmed bin Muhammad Al Shabibi lectured.

During the artistic seminar, the lecturer introduced what is meant by ceramics and sculpture that emanate from fine art and the story of their origin and development over the past decades. He also explained the relationship of ceramics in its utilitarian and aesthetic dimensions between craft and art, and how the lecturing artist's experience and artistic career was in these two fields.

The lecturer also talked about the intellectual and aesthetic transformations in the art of ceramics and reviewed a set of important artistic experiences in the emergence of ceramics as an independent art by itself, and its acquisition of some technical features and qualities, most notably sculpture.

He then moved his talk to what is being raised in the artistic community about the dialectic of the name of ceramic sculpture, being a phenomenon circulating in contemporary artistic circles locally and internationally.
