Ceramics

For ceramics you can use a variety of tools, but in particular I use only my hands.There are a variety of clays, for example polymer clay, clay, adobe, from which you can choose depending on your preferences. There is special clay that is sold by 1lb blocks and does not need to be heaten to dry, this is my favorite becasue you open it and you begin sculpting and it begins drying when you stop molding it. Anyways, you need to wrap it with plastic wrap and put it in a wet plastic bag, and also remember to keep it in a humid place so it will not dry. The best way to learn to sculpt, is to practice. If your not sure about your first sculpture try modeling playdoh into little figures until you think you´re ready. Then you can try with real clay. Then you paint it, I strongly recommend acrylic paint because it won´t loose if it get´s wet. To paste together different parts you should put a little water in the area that´s going to be pasted, this may help it stick together better. If you see your sculptures parts falling apart you can paste it back with pvc or crazy glue, this way it will not fall apart again. (awfully none of my sculptures have survived withouth having to pass through tha crazy glue stage) D:
