Preserving a clay sculpture

This quick tip video from Stiltbeast Studios covers how to keep a water-based or WED clay sculpture from drying out between work sessions. The method involves lightly wetting the sculpt, draping it with a damp towel or paper towel, and sealing the whole piece in a plastic bag to exclude air. At just three minutes, it delivers a focused, practical technique that any prop or mask maker can immediately apply.
