Hi. This is Jorge Benllach and now I'm going to show you the materials that we have around in order to make the next project that is going to be a teenager face. We have here, we are going to work with water base clay. That's what we have here. There is the red one and the gray one. We are going to work with the gray one. We have here other two kind of clays that always I show because they are very interesting, but for other kind of work. This is a a Sculpey that is self hardened if you put it in your own oven, you'll need a kiln to fire it. And, this is the oil based plasticine that never dries. It's fantastic to make very keen pieces, a lot of detail. All the model makers, they use that. But the problem is that you have to make a mold and then you have to use like a resin or some kind of hard material in order to make the piece. And, the piece that you make with plasticine get destroyed. Today we are not going to use no one of those. Then we are going to use wet clay. The tools we are going to use for that project is this base, rotating base that's very good, then a rolling pin, this fantastic wire that it cuts so nice and clean, probably this piece of cloth for texture, these two pieces of wood in order to cut the slabs in the same size, and then some other kind of regular sculpting tools that you can find in any art shop. Next I'm going to show you how to make a little armature to build up the head.
