Peruvian Porcelain Final

I hope everyone had a good weekend. I spent most of my time in the studio working  on BB. I'm still working out the final colouration and hoping to finish it this week.
So, I thought as a bit of a break it would be a good time to bring out images of the final pictures of the Peruvian Porcelain.

 The unglazed porcelain for me has a stone like quality which gives it a more classical look. The head itself with it's deformed cranium was an interesting departure from the so called "normal" head forms that are usually sculpted.
This was my third attempt at porcelain and I still have a bit of clay left so perhaps a new piece is in order.
In the meantime, I should have updates for BB next time. Till then,have a great week.

  1. I enjoy the expression of this porcelain piece. How large is it? And has it been fired yet? I always seem to have cracking in my porcelain sculptures when they get to be "of a certain size". Great work!

  2. Thanks again. The piece is fired and it's 9.5"h x 5.5"w x8"d. As far cracking,there is a small one at the base but it's hard to see. Easy enough to repair.
