I wasn't sure about this challenge when I saw them making it on the Great Pottery Throwdown. I've never sculpted ceramic relief before and I've definitely never sculpted a clay bird before! But I was ready for the challenge and I am SO happy with how they turned out in the end. Join me while I sculpt and carve bird wall art, as well as apply an oxide wash and use underglaze to complete my ceramic bird sculptures! Enjoy!
