How caricatures are made The terracotta caricatures are created by the author directly in clay, without any prior sketch and a first image of this phase of the process is sent to the client. They are then left to dry for several days/weeks, after which they are baked in a ceramic oven for 24 hours, up to 900ºC. Once cooked, they are Terracotta (from the Latin: baked earth) and are then painted with acrylic paints. At that point we contact the customer again with the finished image and arrange collection/shipping.
