Work in progress. Piece no.2.

Takes a fair bit of moving around to build the shape I desire. Lots of waiting, drying, cutting, attaching……at this point I am at the final build stage. Now waiting for piece to become leather hard so more coils can be added.

Work in progress. Piece no.2.

Supports put in place to keep clay in position whilst drying. Top section will dry to leather hard stage in the shape I require to complete this stage.
