Having sourced and trialed a variety of clay’s, I settled on one made in Barcelona. Nice. It has a low shrinkage rate, adheres wet with dry, and has a fine tooth. It is also very cost effective, which until I have fully developed my figures, is important.
I love the Barcelona puppets but wanted to create stand alone figures that would sit unaided, as artpieces, on a surface. The Bronte sisters were the first three of the block. Emily, Anne and Charlotte are molded around PVC plumb
ing couplings and stand about 11cm tall.
