Why we still build in clay
Screens are good at checking a design. Clay is better at finding one. A note on the full-size models that fill our Coventry workshop.
Written in the workshop
Every car at Burnish starts as a full-size clay model, usually before a single surface is drawn on a screen.
The clay argues back
Clay shows you a reflection running the wrong way across a door. It shows an owner where their knee will actually sit.
We photograph every model before it is scraped back. There are 61 sets of photos on the shelf now.
