Making mud penjing figures
Hello to IBC memembers,
The following pictures show you how I created a 18cm bonsai penjing mudman figure or (ni-ren in mandarin).
![Making mud penjing figures How-to10](https://i.servimg.com/u/f47/16/77/93/59/how-to10.jpg)
I first made the head and the upper body, that will guide me the idea of the scale of the whole sculpture.

Re: Making mud penjing figures
Great hand skills !
I love purple sand clay from China, have worked with it, but quite expensive!
Can you get the real clay from China where you live ?
It is precious, every little scrap becomes engobe...![Very Happy](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_biggrin.png)
Take care,
big D

Re: Making mud penjing figures
thank you Dale, Leo
@BigD,
the clay i use is mainly from Spain mainland, for the Yixing brown clay, i got from Yixing from my previous work trips in South East Asia to set set up aquaculture fish farms. I ve seen many types of clay that local people use for general ceramics in Japan, Vietnam, China, Korea, but so far I ve'nt got these types of special clays in Europe.

I mainly use this black high rire grogged body 0-0.5mm clay, at 950°C, it becomes brown, at 1280°C, it gets dark. it's specially designed for aartistic ceramics

Re: Making mud penjing figures
@Keith, it's always great to work with natural clay, when it gets sticky, we put our hands in the water,then the dirtiness is gone. The sculptures will be available as soon as i can organize my work in time.
@plantabarro, muchias gracias por su visita, la tierra que uso es en su mayoría de España (thank you for your visite, the clay , i use is mostly from Spain mainland)
The way I create the sculpture in my bonsai studio in southern France for the time being:
![Making mud penjing figures Dragon19](https://i.servimg.com/u/f47/16/77/93/59/dragon19.jpg)
I made the pot (8x8x3cm) the previous night, before creating the dragon figure, the pot is still fresh enough, to join the figure.
![Making mud penjing figures Dragon20](https://i.servimg.com/u/f47/16/77/93/59/dragon20.jpg)
The dragon figure was sculpted separately with another fine clay texture.
![Making mud penjing figures Dragon21](https://i.servimg.com/u/f47/16/77/93/59/dragon21.jpg)
I added the figure to the pot to work on the details and the pot was served as a support.
![Making mud penjing figures Dragon22](https://i.servimg.com/u/f47/16/77/93/59/dragon22.jpg)

![Making mud penjing figures Dragon26](https://i.servimg.com/u/f47/16/77/93/59/dragon26.jpg)
the wwork is done after 55min, the pot is to put in a dry palce for more than 2 weeks before the firing at 1280°C during 12 hours.
The clay i used: black high fire 2mm grogged body stoneware for the pot, fine dark clay for the figurine.
regards,
giang

Re: Making mud penjing figures
¿Collet (SIO2) PRNF/M? ¿Vicente Díez?
Si necesitas pasta blanca, SIO2 tiene una excelente para rakú, alta temperatura... es la PRA/I/F/M (I Impalpable; F fina; M media) Excelente en el secado y para los esmaltes
If you need white clay, SIO2 is excellent for raku, high temperature ... is the PRA / I / F / M (I Impalpable; thin F; M mean) Excellent in drying and glazes ...
with impalpable can do even sigillata and a slip works perfectly as raw and cooked parts. I use fine grog (PRAF)

Re: Making mud penjing figures
anyhow, thank you for leaving a comment
Usually before making any sculpture, i spend a lot of time finding the real images, in case of real animals such as dogs, cats, birds.o the Internet..then, based on the visual information, i try to create the first shape of the figurine. Yes , it's difficult to deal with the proportion, scale, volume, details...before having a correct figure.
