Sculpture of a hare's head

ceramics / 2021 / hare-sculpture

A sculpture of a hare's head, approx H200mm. I sculpted the head from a solid block of clay, and then hollowed out once the clay had stiffened up. While this technique worked for a small piece like this, it would probably be very difficult for a larger object. An armature would likely have been a better approach.
