How to Make a Wire Armature for Clay Sculpture - Easy Tutorial | by Clayziness

Learn how to build an anatomically correct wire armature of a male body! You can adapt the same technique to any type of body. The white dots on the picture represent the shoulder, elbow, hip and knee joints.
Extra tip: If needed, you can wrap deco enameled wire around the arms to make them less slippery for the clay.

im new to claymaking, have any tips for making a stand? mine keeps slightly tipping over when i poke the feet through cardboard and taping it on both sides. i have my sculpture awkwardly leaning on something now cuz i dont know what to do

[@Clayziness]

Cardboard is not a good base as it cannot support the weight of the clay. I recommend using something sturdy like wood as a base or monster clay (like I did in the video). Make two holes in the width of the wire and put your armature into these holes. That's how I make my sculptures. If you want your piece to stand on its own you need to find the right balance, but it can turn out to look a bit static imo.

@@Clayziness thanks!

You didn't explain the section you cut that wrapped around the shoulder area how long? In us measurements?

[@Clayziness]

I did. It’s 20 cm which is approximately 7.87 in. But then I cut off the excess wire. It’s best to follow your reference image.
