Clay sculptures
Soft and malleable, clay, brings you back to childhood. Available in agricultural land and on seabed, nature is rich in this particular material, which is used today in many different fields, from building to pharmaceutical industries, from cosmetics to the artistic world.
Clay has a unique relationship with water and humidity: when wet, it is easily malleable thanks to its high plasticity, while when it dries, it becomes solid, compact and irreversible.
Making sculptures out of clay means dealing with a material that changes constantly . You can remodel it indefinitely until the sculptor’s idea perfectly matches the desired shape. Clay sculptures can be used as models for plaster casts or it can be dried and then fired in special ovens at high temperatures, to be subsequently coated or glazed as a finished work.
