Le marbre travaill comme un tissu presque transparent : voil le genre de prouesse que Giovanni Battista Lombardi savait offrir vers 1856.
Le voile semble tomber avec douceur, les plis paraissent souples, la pierre se fait presque chair et toffe la fois.
ce niveau-l, la sculpture devient une dmonstration trs calme de virtuosit.

En 1990, la escultura fue retirada y guardada, cuando se quiso recuperar aos despus, se descubri haba desaparecido sin dejar rastro.
En 2006 R. Serra rehzo la obra, que se puede visitar hoy en el museo es una rplica exacta de la original.

T.A.E.s Book Review Make It in Clay A Beginners Guide to Ceramics by Charlotte Speight & John Toki
Make It in Clay: A Beginners Guide to Ceramics reads less like a glossy craft manual than like an apprenticeship compressed into a book. First published in 1997 and revised in 2001, it appears as a spiral-bound, 224-page guide by Charlotte F. Speight and John Toki, aimed at a simple, beginning studio situation. That phrase is revealing: the books ambition is not to dazzle, but to initiate. It offers the beginner not just tips, but a structure for seeing the medium as a sequence of intelligible acts.
What gives the book its quiet authority is its architecture. The table of contents moves methodically from The Ceramics Studio to About Clay, then through hand-building, slabs, sculpture, molds, the wheel, surfaces, and firing, ending with glossary, further reading, and index. This is not just a list of topics it is a pedagogical narrative. Clay is presented as a world that must be entered in order, from material conditions to expressive possibilities, and finally to transformation in the kiln. The recurring chapter apparatusKey Terms / Creative Exercises / Notes and Sketchesturns the book into a studio notebook as much as a text, inviting practice rather than passive reading.
Its visual and rhetorical style is deliberately restrained. One description praises its more than 250 illustrations that show rather than tell beginners how to turn clay into imagined forms, while another notes that the book uses black-and-white photographs rather than colour. That austerity matters. Instead of making ceramics look glamorous, the book insists on process, sequence, and repetition. In that sense, it has the plainspoken seriousness of a classroom demonstrator: not ornate, but dependable not lyrical in an obvious way, yet quietly exacting in its confidence that making can be taught.
As a beginners guide, then, the books deepest strength is its discipline. It covers the basics with enough breadth to be useful and enough restraint to remain usable. Independent commentary has called it one of the best concise and comprehensive guidebooks to the ceramic process, and that feels apt: the book seems designed for readers who want a map before they want a style. Its real achievement is that it treats ceramic practice as both technical literacy and artistic formation, suggesting that mastery begins not with self-expression, but with attentive handling of material, tools, and sequence.

Bonne journe !
Decided to throw caution to the wind and make a Space Butt, so the first stage is painting it all black, and I have to say, I'm loving it so far. The black paint has dried really smooth and won't need buffing the way did.
Now to let it dry before getting funky!

A profile view of the massive marble sculptures of the mythical twin half-brothers, Castor and Pollux gleaming in the morning light atop the Cordonata, Capitoline hill, Rome, Italy. May 2026. According to mythology, their wish to remain together resulted in them becoming the Gemini constellation. These statues were carved around C3 and their original location was at a temple in the nearby Roman Forum and they were moved to their present location around 1584.Toms Hardware: Hacktivists share a guide on making working electronics PCBs made from natural clay with prehistoric technique ethical hardware tutorial explains how to find clay, stamp 3D printed circuits, paint traces, and fire tablets.

Fine sanding of the clay is done!
I'm pleased with how is looking. We're about 8 hours of work on this now. Next step is to paint. Trying to decide between white, like Butt Sculpture, gold, because golden butts are hot, or something else...
Might end up going with safe white just as this is a test for producing a small version of IDK.
Also need to get the proper camera out to decently photograph when done.
