All sculptures have a wire armature for extra strength, allowing more extreme poses than possible with just clay. This armature is ten covered with the clay, into which the detail of the figure is sculpted. The figure is then mounted on a hardwood or customised base, using the armature as a mechanism for anchoring the figure to the base. This results in a very strong and stable sculpture.
