Part 2 - Clay Forming on the Wire Armature - The Teardrop Shape - Sculpting
In this demonstration you will learn how to begin sculpting clay (ceramic) onto a wire armature using the teardrop shape. By sculpting with the teardrop shape, you will learn how to work with negative space, mass and line to create a sculpture that is interesting from all 3 dimensions. This is part-2 of the process of how to create a sculpture using the wire armature.
Materials:
wire armature sculpture attached to a wooden board:
Part-1, The Wire Armature: • Part 1 - Armature Stru...
10-15 pounds of ceramic clay
damp towel
spray bottle with water
plaster-fabric wrap (Plastercraft)
table lamp (desk lamp)

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?

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

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
