As compared to bronze
sculpture, terra cotta
uses a far simpler
process for creating the
finished work. Reusable
mold-making techniques
may be used for series
production. Compared to
marble sculpture and
other stonework the
finished product is far
lighter and may be
further glazed to
produce objects with
color or durable
simulations of metal
patina. Robust durable
works for outdoor use
require greater
thickness and so will be
heavier, with more care
needed in the drying of
the unfinished piece to
prevent cracking as the
material shrinks.
Structural
considerations are
similar to those
required for stone
sculpture.
