It's about time I uploaded some photos of my latest work. I'm back to modelling a little but intermittently and not for long at a time.

where do you get ceramic ??? im planning on doing little sculptures of fish with ceramics anf if you dont mind could you teach me how to get good 360 perspective look

Hi,
Ceramic is another word for clay, or pottery. For ceramics you need a special kiln to fire the sculptures in. You can get self-hardening clay that does not need a kiln, then you paint it after it is dry.

The only way to learn to do it well is to take a class locally or to spend time trying to do it yourself. I am not able to teach you via the computer.

Good luck

Good gravy, your works are awesome! It's been awhile since I saw your works, but I really loved how you approach ceramics and how you made the animal forms work for it.
