Betsy Niederer offers a great tutorial on how to sculpt detailed, accurate loaves of artisan bread and buns. Tips on colour, texture and detail are a big part of the tutorial. Whenever I get the chance to take lessons or work with other artists, I find the tips and tricks almost more than the projects are the best part of classes. And these mini loaves show off the wealth of little tips.
Thank you for sharing; perhaps can use this on larger pieces with some adjustments.
I bet it would work fine on larger pieces. If you plan to use it on much larger – say more than an inch – consider using wadded aluminum foil inside and the clay as just an outside layer. That way you’ll have less baking time and save on materials as well.
