Pâte-sur-Pâte


The painted claylayers are drying fast on the plaster.After the claybody is formed I paint and glaze the raw small piece.Because the fragile unfired figures break very easily I transport them as soon as possible to a tile.The unglazed tile has a function as transport and storage vehicle, and goes with the small pieces also in the kiln.

After the small figures are fired they are much stronger.I have some collection of small figures ; fishes,turtles,seahorses,sailboats,people etc.Then I attach a group to a relief to make for example an underwater scene.
