Portfolio Example & Materials Statement
Joe Jr. Cajero

I create my bronze sculptures using oil-based clay and natural clay found on the Jemez Pueblo. Natural Clay sculptures are hand sculpted and formed and painted with clay slips and acrylic paints and kiln fired.Bronze sculptures are hand sculpted with oil-based clay, hand sculpted and formed, then lost wax casted and finished with patina.
