Clay Bust Project (Part 5 - removing the armature and hollowing out)

Make sure to remove the bust from the armature before it becomes too dry. The piece must be hollow to have it fired in the kiln. CLAY DUST CAUTION: Ceramic pottery clay is used for this project. Make sure to set up an appropriate work space where you can easily clean up and minimize clay dust. Do Not Work Over Carpet. Dry clay dust is very fine and not good to breath. Long term breathing of large amounts dry clay dust has been known to cause lung problems in industry workers. While none of the techniques covered in this video create excessive dust, take care when cleaning your work area.
