How to make porcelain clay reliefs.
1. Prepare materials.
Porcelain clay: Choose porcelain clay with delicate texture and good viscosity to ensure the texture and stability of the relief.
Tools: sculpture knives, clay plates, sticks, scrapers, etc.
Background paper: used to fix the relief, you can choose different colors and textures of paper.
Brushes: Used for painting in detail.
Second, the production steps.
Clay kneading: Take out the porcelain clay, put it on the clay plate, knead it into a circle with both hands, and then gradually flatten it to form a flat clay tablet.
Composition: Gently sketch the outline of the relief with a stick or finger on a clay tablet, determine the main structure and proportions.
Coarse shaping: Use a sculpture knife or spatula to roughly shape according to the composition to determine the basic form and layering of the relief.
Fine shaping: On the basis of coarse shaping, more detailed tools are used to shape the relief in depth, depicting details and textures. The porcelain clay can be increased or decreased appropriately to achieve the desired effect.
Surface treatment: Use a sculpture knife or scraper to treat the embossed surface to make it smoother and smoother. Excess clay can be gently scraped off, or a thin layer of clay can be applied to the surface to enhance the texture.
Detail painting: Use a brush to paint on a relief surface to add color and layering. You can color or sketch out a more detailed pattern as needed.
Drying: Place the finished porcelain clay relief in a ventilated place to dry, avoid direct sunlight. The drying time depends on the environment and generally takes a few days to a few weeks.
Firing: After the porcelain clay relief is completely dry, it can be fired. The clay reliefs are placed in a preheated kiln, the temperature and time are controlled, and the required hardness is fired. Note that good ventilation should be maintained during the firing process to avoid smoke and dust.
Finished product treatment: After the firing is completed, the porcelain clay relief is taken out and placed in a ventilated place to cool. Once cooled, sandpaper can be used to gently sand the surface to remove the fine imperfections that occur during the firing process. Finally, the surface can be coated with a layer of clear paint or varnish to increase protection and gloss.
The above is the production method of porcelain clay relief for your reference. In the production process, it is necessary to pay attention to the processing of details and the coordination of proportions to ensure the beauty and stability of the relief. At the same time, in order to achieve better results, different tools, techniques and materials can be constantly tried and explored in practice. Finally, I wish you a successful production!
