[@jessiekei4058]

So gorgeous ! Beautiful work 😍 what type of clay did you use ?

[@Liangceramicstudio]

Thank you! I am using porcelain for these pieces.

[@GlobalPorcelainArtAcademy]

Is the work table covered with canvas?

[@makemyclay]

Fantastic! are the holes on the side of the feet decorative or are they breathing holes?

[@Liangceramicstudio]

Thank you, I keep the holes for hanging options.

[@mayeeshafarzana4946]

Beautiful! May I ask what is the material and where do you buy it from?

[@Liangceramicstudio]

Thank you, I bought my clay from a university nearby, they have art and ceramic class.

[@jinc604]

Lovely work, what tool did you use to punch the holes in the clay?

[@Liangceramicstudio]

Thank you. I got my tools from Jingdezhen. I think you can use one like this from Amazon. amzn.to/3kzoJva

[@worthy1959]

Amazing work.
What clay do you use?

[@Liangceramicstudio]

Thanks! I used porcelain for this one.

[@machalowitch]

I love this work but for me I see in colour

[@johntran7432]

Can I ask where you got your clay from? Thanks

[@Liangceramicstudio]

I purchased it from a local vendor. I believe the Ceramic Shop or Sheffield Pottery sell clay.

[@barrybuxbaum8621]

what kind of clay do you use? is it porcelain?

[@Liangceramicstudio]

Yes, it's porcelain.

[@maricarmencanolorente2032]

Dónde lo venden

[@Liangceramicstudio]

I've responded through another reply. Thanks!

[@veroniquefortin6746]

pouvez-vous actionner la TRADUCTION (Français)

[@Liangceramicstudio]

Thanks for the suggestion! There are only few words in my videos with no narratives. I believe most can watch my videos without any subtitles. It's quite difficult for me to translate the title and description being not speaking French... (Google Translated: Merci pour la suggestion! Il n'y a que peu de mots dans mes vidéos sans narration. Je crois que la plupart peuvent regarder mes vidéos sans sous-titres. Il m'est assez difficile de traduire le titre et la description n'étant pas francophone...)

[@machalowitch]

Why do you not answer questions

[@Liangceramicstudio]

Thanks for the comment. I don't see any other questions from you that I haven't responded yet. There must be something wrong.

[@nicolarollinson4381]

More stuff to clutter up the earth. You are obviously very creative but it all seems a bit pointless to me. Make them out of pastry, so at least peeps can eat them.

[@Liangceramicstudio]

As a human being, my body need nutrition, so do my mind.
