Cutting Clay for Bird Bath Sculpture

Video Transcript

"We are going to use the red clay. Red clay is very messy, but it's whatever this piece requires. I recommend you work with care with that clay, and clean the tools and your hands after your red. We're going to use these pieces in order to make those slabs even when we cut it. I'm going to put it in there, then we're going to go all the way there. We have one slab here. One important thing is to work with a drop cloth or something like that, that the clay doesn't stick. That's very important. If not, we're going to have a lot of problems later when we want to retrieve the pieces because they stick so much. Later we are going to thinner a little bit those slabs, but for now, that's what we are going to have. We hope this is going to be enough. Always protect the clay from the air that it dries so quickly."
