Clay Chair

I posted the video on how to make clay bamboo. The new post will be on how to make a clay chair. Here it is with clay draped and sculpted over a stuccoed armature. Next, I will cut clay into tiles, bisque and glaze them, and then thin set the tiles back onto the stuccoed armature. As soon as I can have the video I will post it. It may take 3 weeks to complete.
Here is the image of the chair today after cutting the draped clay into tiles.
This is a picture of the stuccoed armature for the chair above

Tiles ready for glazing

Glazing tiles, almost to the end. In about four days I’ll be able to put it all together.
