Alphonse Yenji is a remarkable person who works at Prescraft,

If they don't buy, I have nothing to do. I want to create even
more items for the customers."

Last
Supper
Set
Clay
Cameroon
Formed from clay which is dug from a riverbed and then
thrown from person to person up the bank to reach the top, these
figures are manifestly handmade from start to finish. It takes
over a month and a succession of processes to make the clay ready
for molding. Dried for at least three weeks, pounded into small
pieces, then dried again, black clay and red clay are mixed together
to form the correct texture. Added to water, sifted, worked by
hand to remove impurities, poured into a container and dried for
a week, moved to a concrete slab to set, the clay is finally taken
to an underground storage room, wrapped and stored in plastic.
No two sets are identical.
