I continued work on perfecting my statue by going to the painting and glazing workshop. My piece originally broke in the kiln so it had been semi shattered for weeks now, I thought now would be a great time to give it some retribution.

The most important part of making this piece was that the glazing on the insides was really shiny as it would make the blood and gross guts feel lifelike. In person this fact really stands out, especially with the black paint with the red as it really gives it a level of depth.

I noted the shape slightly melted in the kiln i think because parts such as the brain and the spine are slumping out of their body, which i think only adds to the gross feel of it all.

^The pieces before going into the kiln. Was really hard to see how this was gonna become shiny but I trusted the process lol.

Overall I had a good time in this workshop and was great for anyone who wanted to do some more things to their clay pieces to bring it to another level. I might not do it again because I'm not completely engrossed in claywork however the ending product was something that showed me what great things you can get from claywork
