How to Mold a Sculpture
First, clean the clay by getting rid of the bits of sand and dirt from it Then
add or remove water from the clay if necessary. If the clay is too wet, it will not hold
a shape. And if it is too dry, it will not be flexible enough to mold Next, begin to
shape the clay into something with your bare hands or with tools. Roll and push
clay into shapes or pull off and stick back on different places. After the clay has been
molded, put it into a kind of oven to be fired. Then, build a fire. As the fire slowly
gets hotter and hotter, water is baked out of the clay. Sooner or later, the clay dries
up and becomes hard with a new shape. Remove it from the oven, and let it cool.
Afterwards, you may paint it or put some designs of your choice on it.
