JORGE BENLLOCH: We are going to start cutting the clay, this wet clay, water-based clay; that's what I wanted to say, water-based clay that is going to dry, self drying and self hardening. Now I'm going to cut the clay using this cutter and these two pieces of wood. They keep the cutting more or less in the same size and same thickness. This is an out-of-control thing. It's very important to use this kind of rough cloth or something like that. This cotton, it's very good. The clay doesn't stick much. This is very sticky clay. That's right. Sometimes we have some kind of problem too to deal with. This is going to be more or less the basic thickness of the dolphin. We are going to draw more or less what we want to sculpt there and just add a little volume in there in order to make the shape of the dolphin body. Maybe, we have enough for now.
