How To Make A Clay Sculpture

1. Scrunch up an A3 sheet of paper into a ball for the head and roll up half of an A3 sheet of paper for the neck. (Make sure it can slide on and off the stand)
2. Place them on a wooden stand and position them in a rough shape of your head.
3. Cover the paper with brown tape dipped in water to make it stick. Cove up all the paper and make sure there are no gaps.
4. Spread clay all over the paper, pushing it to make sure it’s not too thick and that it covers the whole sculpture.
5. Once covered, use wood to shape the sculpture, remembering to shape individual sections such as the eyes and nose.
6. Use extra clay to add on any missing parts such as ears and hair.
