The creation of a
figure begins with a pickax,
breaking
the clay
out of the ground.
Not an easy task,
especially in the
heat of the summer.
|
|
In the traditional
method, the clay is prepared
by mixing,
soaking, wetting, and sifting. A process
that takes several days.

The features then
emerge by carving.
"When I start, I
have an idea of what I want it to do,
but a lot of
times, the clay goes where it wants to."
