Clay Form

For this work, I created a clay form of an animal and then added sgraffito onto the outside of the sculpture.

The materials I used were clay, clay tools, black glaze, sgraffito tools, clear glaze.

I started by trying to get ides on what I should create to make the base of the sculpture. Once I had the Idea of using a panda, I started to create the main body of the panda using a large, hollow ball of clay. Then once I had that created the head of the panda. Once the pandas head had been created, I connected it to the head to the main body, then added the arms. After that, I painted on black glaze onto the sculpture. Then I carved and sgraffito into the sculpture. Finally, when I was happy with what I had the sculpture was put into the kiln and it was finished.
