Let's make a large clay chess piece

Ready to take your sculpting skills up a notch? ♞ In this advanced project, Joe shows how to sculpt a large chess knight from clay – building the form step by step and refining the details until it starts to take on that classic chess piece character. Projects like this are a great way to challenge yourself creatively. You’ll practise building structure with an armature, controlling proportions by adding and subtracting clay, and carving surface details that make the piece feel polished and intentional. If you’re comfortable with clay and looking for something a little more ambitious, this one’s a really satisfying piece to tackle.
