Extension:
The molding of clay sculpture is generally divided into four steps: being a child, turning over the mold, being born, and coloring.
Making a child: make a prototype, find a good piece of mud, shape an image by carving, molding and kneading, and then modify, polish and dry it. Some places need to be burned to strengthen the strength.
Turning over the mold: press the soil on the prototype and print it into a mold. There are usually one-piece molds, two-piece molds and multi-piece molds.
Born: press the clay figurine blank tire with a mold. Usually, the mixed mud is rolled into a sheet, then pressed into a mold, then the two molds pressed with mud are closed and pressed, and then a "bottom" is installed, that is, a piece of mud is stuck on the lower part of the clay figurine to make it hollow and compact, and a hole is left in the carcass to make the air inside and outside the carcass circulate, so as to avoid damaging the clay tire due to the change of air pressure inside the carcass.
Coloring: Coloring is said to be "three-part plastic and seven-part color separation". Generally, a layer of ground color is applied before coloring to keep the surface smooth and easy to absorb the painted color. The painted pigment is versatile, mixed with water gel to enhance color adhesion.
