How to make a ceramic whale.
A full tutorial, each step is videoed and explained from the preparation of the clay to the final result. (except for the firing section, I unfortunately do not have access to the kiln and where my pieces are fired)
Sculpting is a slow process but it's so satisfying! You can make this at home either using stoneware / earthenware clay or you can use air-dry clay!
No wheel needed.
If you use air dry clay it does not need to be hollow as it does not need to withstand the high temperatures in the kiln. It does not need to be fired and you can use normal paint to give it color.
I use white stoneware clay and Amaco Potter's Choice glaze in the color 'Indigo Float'
