1.4 Articulated Object
DESCRIPTION:
Metal clay rarely sticks to metal clay without moisture. Take advantage of this characteristic to create movement as you make a wearable, decorative, or functional object with an articulated aspect.
Assemble two or more individual metal clay parts as greenware, then fire as one unit, making sure they maintain their jointed function. This can be a chain, pendant and bail, or other co-fired, articulated design. The challenge submission form will ask for a photo of the object assembled, but unfired.
