This is how I made human size sculpture from clay, new piece, start from scratch

Hi, this is Wanying Liang. I am an artist based in upstate New York. I record the process of how I work on ceramic sculptures. The videos are mostly slow, quiet, sometimes might be boring, but you may find them satisfying to watch, too.
I hope you enjoy and please let me know if you've got any questions down in the comments. Please subscribe to my channel for more videos on ceramic art sculptures.
Thanks for watching and I'll see you soon with a new upload.

Seriously, how do you come up with the ideas of your work? I’m in awe!!! You are a genius!! Thank you so much for sharing your work and talent with us.

[@stephentaylor7225]

I love that piece, absolutely beautiful.

[@webepanda]

Great work as usual!! True artisan at work. Like the format of the video: time lapses, dissolves, special effects, etc.. Keeps the video moving along. Thanks.

[@Liangceramicstudio]

Thank you very much for the support!

[@jillbenson4189]

Thank you so much. I'm going to watch how you finish this piece later. But, I've already learnt so many tips and tricks. Your work is wonderful ❤❤

[@Liangceramicstudio]

Thank you! These videos are usually divided into two parts. Hopefully the finishing part is not too difficult to find.

[@Kuobrand]

Thanks for sharing your process, it's lovely how you start with a sketch and start doing it into apiece. I want to start doing pieces in ceramic so I hope I can learn something or understand better the medium

[@debbiereisetter8986]

Thank you so much for sharing your process. Beautiful work. May I ask what your table is wrapped with and how do you clean it?

[@Liangceramicstudio]

Thank you! My table is wrapped with linen, so that clay would not be easily stick with table. I just use my sponge to clean it.

[@JJ-fb5jj]

The whole video is so beautiful, and perfect. I like how you make the video mix with different effect, background music, voice of daily conversation. so peaceful ❤

[@Liangceramicstudio]

Thank you, I am so glad that you enjoyed the videos.

[@chopsonyou2007]

When do you use slip to join and when not? I see you scratched the clay sometimes and added coils with slip…. Other times you used slip to join…

[@walkerpottery9296-Natalie]

Another beautiful creation! How long is the drying process for a work such as this?

[@Liangceramicstudio]

Thank you. It really depends on the weather. In summer, I will let it dry at least one week.

[@annwiseone]

Very cool work! I love your style of combining animal and plant subjects. Would you please share the name of the clay you use?

[@Liangceramicstudio]

Thank you! I use stoneware clay for this piece.

[@nanouh8566]

Wow your work is so amazing ! I love your work !! What do you think about to work with porcelain ?

[@Liangceramicstudio]

Thank you! I used stoneware for this piece. I like the white color and smoothness of porcelain, but it's not as easy to work with.

[@matthewwalker4208]

Hello Liang, very skilled, very interesting. Can I ask what clay you are using? How long between making them and firing them. Thanks.

[@Liangceramicstudio]

Thank you! I am using stoneware clay for this series of works. In summer, one week is enough for drying the piece, in other seasons, you might want to wait longer. It really depends on the weather.
