The initial sketch for this sculpture is pinned on the board behind .
First I made her legs using studio white earthenware, then the torso. I hollowed all the pieces seperately then joined them together when they were leather hard using slip.
I then used chocolate black clay and wrapped it around the torso, using slip to securely join them together.
I then pierced some small holes in the torso to insert the chocolate black roots.
The final sculpture was fired to 1040c, low firing. Vent plugs out for the first 5 hours
There are some more images of these sculptures in earlier posts.
