"Trilogy for Tomorrow"

If you have ever done any clay modeling, these tools will be familiar to you. I was delighted to have them in my hands again recently as I worked up a clay model of "Trilogy for Tomorrow". The smooth working edges and cutting ends of the shaping knives brought to life the images in my mind. The figures grew and smoothed into shape as though by magic. I'm always inspired by the cooperation of mind and hand...when the right tools are on stage!










The armature is the supportive wire structure that holds the clay in place while it dries, or is moulded.







The Clay modeling is shaped and finished.
