My Shisa!!!

I have been taking some pottery classes here in Okinawa. I just made these Shisa and am so excited about how they turned out. All made by hand the traditional way. The two pieces of clay are what I started out with.

How fun! Do they have to be dried in a kiln or do they dry naturally?

Nice job. I'm afraid mine would just like a lump of clay when I was finished.
