%%lang,german
Als Technik verwendeten die Künstler bei den mehrstöckigen Skulpturen ein Holzskelett, das mit einer Ton-Strohmasse umgeben wurde, um daraus das Relief zu modellieren. Dann hat man die fertige Figur mit Stoff bespannt, grundiert und mit Leim-Wasserfarben bemalt.

%%lang,english
The technique the artists used to make the multi-level sculptures was timber-frame construction. The timber-frame was sourrounded by a clay-straw compo to mould the relief out of it. Then the finished figure was covered with fabric, grounded and coloured with glue-watercolours.
