Complete Ceramic Sculpture Creation: From Clay to Finished Piece

Welcome to Liang Ceramic Studio! In this video, I share the complete process of creating my ceramic sculpture “You Grow Up When I Sleep” — from shaping the clay to the final firing. I also introduce my materials, techniques, and some behind-the-scenes details of my studio life.

You’ll see how I conceptualize and sketch my work, work with slab and coil building methods, and use stoneware clay for larger sculptures. I discuss the importance of internal support structures, the challenges of glazing, and my ideas on assembling separate parts for complex designs like large leaves.

Plus, stay tuned for tips on loading and unloading kilns, and I might even share a video on kiln handling if you’re interested! Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more ceramic art content. Next week, I’ll be sharing a studio renovation update—so stay tuned!

What you’ll learn in this video:

The full creation process of a ceramic sculpture
Material choices and technical techniques
How to build support structures for large pieces
Tips on glazing and finishing your work
Insights into kiln firing and disassembly

Enjoy the journey of transforming clay into art, and thank you for your support!

Hi, this is Wanying Liang. I am an artist based in upstate New York. I record the process of how I work on ceramic sculptures. The videos are mostly slow, quiet, sometimes might be boring, but you may find them satisfying to watch, too.

I hope you enjoy and please let me know if you’ve got any questions down in the comments. Please subscribe to my channel for more videos on ceramic art sculptures.

Thanks for watching and I’ll see you soon with a new upload.
