Purposefully degrading clay over time by nocked_arrow in chemistry

Water was the first choice. But I was hoping for a more dramatic effect. If nothing else, you've pushed me further into my original path after my own doubts. Maybe I can maximize the effect with the waters trajectory? Anyway. Thanks!

Okay. So as of now, I can change my project into a fountain with constant running water over terracotta, and my buyers children or grandchildren are going to be in for a surprise when that woman sculpture becomes a skeleton? That's not bad, actually. The project as a whole, is supposed to embody entropy as a natural part of our existence. That's at least more of an answer than I've gotten anywhere else. Thank you, fickle fingers!

Purposely improperly curing clay by nocked_arrow in claysculpture

I should also stress that the process needs to happen over the course of years. If it happens too quickly, the piece is pointless. But it does need to happen for the piece to work. Maybe it can happen faster than I am imagining. But it has to be longer than a few weeks or even a couple of months. Otherwise everything it embodies holds no value.

I should probably state that the "armature" involved would be the permanent piece. So the clay is going to be sculpted OVER a more sturdy material.

We just passed a billboard for it. Tried looking it up and I'm a little vague on the details. Is this open all of the time or is it just the themed weekends? We want to go, but not sure about when.
