Thank you so much. I had stopped my passion till I found another way of sculpting because I couldn't fire my sculptures. I LOVE CLAY so I am SO HAPPY having a solution without firing it. Gratitude :)
Hi - thank you for your videos I've learned a lot! I'm just wandering why you are using clay if not firing or casting? Could you just add plaster to it so you have a finished piece that will last?
Hello! Yes it will if you allow it to get to "bone dry". This specific process continues in Part 3 and 4 where I demonstrate how to cover it with paster fabric to protect the clay and experience how to treat the surface of your sculpture by filing and sanding. Please view those videos. Thank you for your question! Best!
@@nathanorosco-demonstration5637 Wouldn't the clay become moldy over time being trapped under the plaster? Have you noticed any signs of mold on these works?
No, not if it is kept dry. This process is more so an armature to sculpt a form that would potentially go into the mold making process. But there are many armatures/maquette that are very old in museums becuase many materials that are fragile, and are kept inside can last a good while. Best!@@gooosedog

Does air dry clay crack when applied to a wire armature?
