Oh look it's a Head Bust, Wait is...is that Josh Hutcherson?

In Advanced Ceramics I got to create a head bust out of clay and I decided to create Josh Hutcherson's Head. This was a long and tricky process because you start off with a whole bag of clay and you start forming the head shape, the jaw, and all the other facial features. The tricky part was to keeping it wet for a month, but everytime I added something I made sure I soaked it with water and wrapped it all up with paper towels and put 2 bags over it to lock in the moisture, but I learned that if there are other parts that are wetter than others they will take longer to dry and you want it to dry altogether (his chin was still a little wet and when it went in the kiln it came off). The funnest part of this assignment was splitting it in half (Vertical way) and hollowing it out.

 Problem: Create a Ceramic Bust, hollow it out and glaze it.
Solution: Josh Hutcherson Ceramic Bust

 This is what it looks like on the inside, I used a fork to create those holes so it could dry faster.
