Self Portrait Bas Relief

Using a photo, I transfer my profile to clay, and then carve away and add on as needed to give the illusion of 3D, also known as bas-relief.

Supplies used:

• thick slab of clay (1/2”)

• blue rib for smoothing

• plastic wrap and sharpie

• black and white photo

• wooden stylus

• carving tools as preferred
