We have 10 lbs of fresh Maine coast clay and I forget from my many art classes how to clean the grit before we use it. It involves soaking it in water. I’m just not sure what for and how does this remove the rocks/sand?

indielect asked:


I’m going to be sculpting a life size or rather large female torso using clay and I’m looking for tips or tutorials on how to do so. Any videos on the web I could watch?

I’m not sure, but I thought I heard of something called “coiling” to make a sculpture but I am not sure on how to do so.

Any tips or advice or links would be helpful. Thanks!
