Hi, my name is Jorge Benlloch and today I am going to present here different materials because I am going to try to make like a duck decoy. It's going to be like a figurine, that you can put it in the interior; it's going to look like a decoy anyway. We are going to use, for that I choose gray clay, water-based, there is several grays here. This is the red clay, this is the gray clay, all water-based, and this is Plasticine, which is oil-based and this is Sculpey, its a very interesting material but very expensive, that's why when we do all this kind of things with the big volume, it's better to do it with gray clay and later we will process another to reinforce that. This figure that we are going to make, this figurine is going to be like self-drying and self-hardening. It's not going to be very, very strong but later we will finish it in some kind of finish that, it will last quite long. Anyway, that's the tools that we are going to use; that's the rotating plate, that's the rolling pin, this is very important, that's wire to cut, and knead the clay and a few basic tools that, you know you can find in any art store. This, this two pieces of wood, they are very interesting, you will see how I am going to use it, it's in order to cut even slabs off clay that we are going to do with it.
