Figure making

In the figure studio, complex figures and objects from Porzellan Manufaktur Nymphenburg are given their final shape. According to the original templates, the individual parts are put together with slip, the liquefied porcelain mass, and hand shapes sets such as leaves and flowers, garlands or thorns are attached by hand with a scalpel to hedges, trees, crucifixes or terrines. Finally, the craftsmen retouch the finest seams and retouch sculptural details such as hands, facial features and surfaces with modeling tools.
