Carved Maquette for 'Holy Orders' 4 1/2" high | |
Slabs, firmed-up in a canvas sling are initially supported with blocks of clay. | |
As the form closes, it becomes self supporting. | |
Adjustments can be made by cutting 'darts' and moving the sections together. | |
With the hole tube inserted, the form can be completed by capping the remaining 2 ends. | |
After time under wraps to allow evening-up, the final surface is carved. | |
'Holy Orders', fired, still in the wood kiln. |
