- This video introduces you to clay sculpture and starts off your experience with a discussion of how to plan for a clay sculpture, how to start building a piece, and some basic clay construction techniques. We are doing this through the process of building a small animal out of clay.
They say “when the student is ready, the teacher will come”. I’m so happy to find you! Thank you for doing these clay videos.
You explain very well. I wish I was there. near by you but I'm so far from you to join your class
Where can I find Mini animal #3? Would love to see the head of the fennec fox. Thanks so much for your videos!
WOW, excellent tutorial. Thank you. I've just started to research ceramic, starting from air dry and wanting to get a small kiln to do animals.
Awesome! I hope you enjoy it! Such a fun medium :)
Hi. Will you kindly post the type of clay and a source for it…so many types of clay. Thank you !❤
I stuff much larger sculptures with news paper then when I’ve finished sculpting , I take paper out once it dried enough . I also used chopped up pieces of wooden rolling pins as supports to help position animals , covered with small bits of sponges and wrap extremities like paws tails in bits of cling film to stop it cracking while I work on different areas. I found it better to use anatomical pictures in profile and use callipers to measure out animal . I found some clays are better than others for different processes so after much trail and error sofar I’ve found a clay called Hannah Asraf Raku, which is heavily grogged and lends itself well to sculpture but I know some use fortified porcelain clay which I’ve yet to try. I need to find help on how to fire my own work , use a kiln so frustrating that the 3D contemporary craft degree course I was on , didn’t teach this so I’m struggling to find someone to talk me though firing process with an electric kiln now.
