This was an awesome experience. I did not expect this to make it to the end. It was first bisque-fired in an electric kiln, then saggar-fired in a barrel alternative firing. I love it! Thank you!

I really like this piece!
Very niet how you dared to cover the eyes. And how the slabs are still visible in a way.

I'm in love with the linear elements of this piece! Strong bold lines from the clavicles, to the traps, to the jawline, down to the mouth frown arcs that not everyone has! Then the circular rendition of deep woven lines on the back of the frame. You did amazing!!!

This is an incredible piece... are you going to continue creating busts? How did it work with the firing? I don´t have a kiln... do you think, it´s possible to fire the piece without?

@julia_ulrich_art thank you! I always wanted to sculpt human figures, but at my university (I studied ceramics at the university of arts) they used to tell us we are ceramicists, not sculptors, and didn't encourage it. I took this as a great opportunity to learn and it really was. I was very nervous about the firing, but it all went flawless. You can do some research about alternative firings (the second firing was done in a saggar firing in a barrel, so no special kiln, but the first was a classic bisque firing. Maybe you can find a place to fire it in your area.

Excellent! I loved your sculpture, without a doubt you have great talent. I would like to ask you what material did you use? It is seen that it is a material that could solidify, clay is more plastic and tends to break in its natural state.

@jhak_james_96 thank you! It is stoneware -so a type of clay -first fired at 900 degrees Celsius, then fired a second time in a saggar firing when it reached 850 degrees.
