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
