• Architectural Sculptures

    Kiln firing continued

    After several more loads, I now have several of my original sculptures preserved in the hard terracotta state. Other than some minor warpage of the JMCCO monogram panel due to it’s tipping forward at an angle in the kiln during the firing process, all the other pieces turned out completely free of any cracks or other issues. Here are some photos of the now fired sculptures, all but one was modelled in Continental Clay’s raku clay which can be fired up to cone 10, I fired all of these to cone 1 except the angel panel. The thing is, I never actually intended to kiln fire any of these models…
