Sculptures in clay - an ancient art form

Already in ancient times, clay was used in the manufacture of sculptures, jewelry, and utility items. It is an easily worked and malleable material that allows the artist, or, sculptor in this case, to create the most intricate shapes and sculptures, where there are few limits to either its size, structure, or richness of detail.

Clay used to create a larger sculpture, should also contain chamotte, which is fired and crushed clay. It makes the shape more permanent.
