This is my most recent clay portrait.  I did the modeling last fall during the DIVA Open Studios Tour over a period of two weekends.  People came to visit my studio and watch me work with the model. Faire was a great model, and very generous with her time.  I spent the rest of the winter finishing it, just firing it a few months ago.

One of my popular posts is how I hollow a clay model in preparation for firing.  I have updated that post with in-progress pictures from Faire. You can see more of my portrait work here. As always, comments welcome.
