Sculpting Kit- Advanced (Clay)

Sculpting with clay is the preferred method of modeling among many artists due to the texture, pliability, and ability to hold detail. The Advanced Sculpting Kit includes all of the materials required to sculpt multiple small pieces in clay, either figures or animals, with the aid of high quality modeling tools and reference materials. The Sculpting with Clay Advanced Kit includes the following:

Simply build the figure armature using the armature template and copper wire provided, model the clay around the figure armature into the desired pose, attach the unfinished piece to the armature board, and finish sculpting finer detail using the tools provided to create your final work of art! Finished clay sculptures can be molded for casting in a variety of mediums. Check out the accompanying videos featuring sculptor Mark Hopkins for further tips and instructions.
