The Finishing Touches given the CLAY Nativity robes and animal bodies are textures
derived by embedding relics from my family collection of antiques and other treasures. The
collection spans 5 generations and 3 continents.
Each nativity piece is hand formed. Beginning with a slab of damp white earthenware clay(
similar to porcelain); forms are cut, and the textures are embedded. The delicate slab is folded
or drape, over a cone base. A body develops and the nativity scene takes shape.

All the copper patina applications

Clayworks studio. The 8 point star,
staffs, gifts, and saddles.
