My sculpture is free standing, so it is not attached to anything but the base. I made a pinch pit then I attached the legs and head by scoring and slipping.It is a bowl with legs attached on the bottom, with a elpahant face. It's suppose to resemble a elephant. I made it so you could eat out of it, like ice cream or chips.
The top picture is someone wedging the clay. You wedge the clay by kneading it to make the conscitency evan and free if any air pockets. If it is not wedged there could be air pockets in the clay and could explode in the kiln.The bottom picture is someone who scored the clay, but cutting little lines into the clay. Than you put water in the cracks of the lines you scored to create the slip part. If you don't do this when you attach a piece it will fall off when your fire it in the kiln. To make. pinch pot you need to get a round piece of clay, put your finger in the middle and turn it until it becomes a pot. You can put two pinch pots together by scoring and slipping but you'll need a vent so air can get in and out, so it doesn't explode in the kiln.
If you have never made a clay elpahant bowl like I did, you might need to know the basics. First I wedged the clay so there wasn't any air pockets in the clay. Than I made a pinch pot that I shaped like a bowl, if you are putting two pinch pots together you will need to make a whole in the clay so it does not explode. I attached the legs and elephant face by scoring and slipping them onto the pinch pot which is the body. I also had to score and slip little detail onto the face of the elphant.
