Follow along as I mass in a black bear head in solid clay on a pipe armature! 🐻
I sculpt each piece solid to about 75% completion, then I cut it up, hollow it, and reassemble it. Massing in is the fastest part of the process. This bear took me six hours to mass in, but it will take me much longer to hollow, reassemble, and detail it!
Stay tuned to see her once she’s back together! 😘

Introducing 2026 Montana Clay Tour guest artist Shelsea Dodd!
Shelsea’s work primarily investigates feminist and LGBTQ/queer issues, human/animal relationships, and the parallels she perceives between the two. Her work has been shown nationally and she has taught and completed residencies both across the US and abroad.
In 2025 she opened Goldhorn Studios, a collective studio space and gallery in downtown Helena, MT, with her wife, potter Sam Momeyer. They live in Helena with their dog and two cats.
Find Shelsea and her work at Iva and Perry Haas’s stop on the MCT! For further details on dates and locations, just click the link in our bio.

🐻🌸 Black bear with mountain laurel headdress! I made this lady at @arrowmont_school in January during Pentaculum! I have truly been so bad about posting y’all, but I’m going to do better! 🙂↕️🤡
I sculpted, hollowed out, and reassembled this piece in like three days (with the power of #pentaculum) and it was a great reminder to loosen up and not fuss! #ceramics #clay #art #sculpture
