- The first setup, lines are drawn with chalk on a table. Later clay will be added.
- Setting up the clay, using various hoops and rulers and what not to create shapes.
- Working the clay is finished, the form is in the final stage. You can see some more of the tools I use.
- The next step creating a couple of casts with gypsum plaster. These will be filled with ground paper and glue, paper mache clay.
- More details of the cast
- Some of the details of the cast
- Some parts fresh from the cast. The paper mache clay has to dry some time while in the casts.
- And when the shapes come from the cast they have to dry some more, with all the clamps to make sure they remain straight and do not deform.
- I only make half a shape a shape in clay and reproduce it twice in paper mache clay. Here is the first time all the shapes are layed out on the floor.
- Gluing the shapes together with the aid of a wooden frame
- Painting the frame
