A question on kilns
Started by Kenneth A. Haines. Last reply by sarah maria du toit Nov 10, 2013. 1 Reply 1 Like
Since I am mostly working air dry clay and some polymer I am interested in getting a kiln, however I have no idea what to look for, there are so many variations. What would be a good start for a small area? I have never done any ceramics, I understand that that may require a different set up!! Not sureREAD MORE

I love sculpting, among other things....

Mostly I like odd things, these I call Alien Trees, all made with air dry clay and painted, only drawback is they are very fragile and chip easily. any ideas on how to strengthen or perhaps a different medium. I would eventually like to get a kiln, but knowledge in that area is lacking.READ MORE

Anamorphic Installations - Cool Classroom Idea?
Started by Thaneeya McArdle Apr 18, 2013. 0 Replies 2 Likes
This could be a fun idea for a Sculpture Class... Get all the students to work together to create an anamorphic installation that fills a whole room, similar to the work of Bernard Pras, which you can see here: http://creativegreed.com/bernard-pras-anamorphic-painting.htmlHe uses items like clothing, driftwood and other objects and arranges them strategically around a room so that when you look at the installation from…READ MORE
This is a half mask I made. I would appreciate some helpful critiques
Started by Kaitlin Emerson. Last reply by Thaneeya McArdle Apr 4, 2013. 3 Replies 0 Likes
This half mask is made out of clay. This is not wearable or able to stank up-right by itself. The glazes are suppose to look nature-like. READ MORE

From now on I shall be posting more and more Works In Progress, as WIPs could be of interest to other sculptors too. Finished artworks can be seen at my own site http://www.pulpart.net. I love your comments and likes though, but the Sculpture group is in my opinion the place to help each other with all acpects of the creative process. Items of general interest could for instance be how to do mold making if you need multiples (I include a photo of salted…READ MORE

3D Pen
Started by Thaneeya McArdle. Last reply by Anton Abela Mar 15, 2013. 3 Replies 4 Likes
Wouldn't it be neat to use a pen to draw in the air and create a 3D sculpture? It's possible! A company called WobbleWorks has created "the world's first 3D printing pen". You can read an overview here in this CNN article: http://whatsnext.blogs.cnn.com/2013/02/21/a-3-d-pen-that-lets-you-draw-objects-in-the-air/WobbleWorks launched a …READ MORE

Sculpting & pottery without a kilm
I discovered this many years ago probably 20 years ago. It can be life changing for artists without kilms etc, you use PVA wood Glue & bone dry sand. mix both together untill you get a workable & plyable. this only works with bone-dry sand, if the sand is slightly wet it wont dry solid. then leave to stand for at least 24 hrs , but thick parts will take longer, I do miniature soldier bases with it and it takes 24 hrs, but if your sculpting a head its thick and can take 2 weeks to dry. by Mark Ainswoth ref(140867)

I use these celcom blocks...~ This one is a LARGE Thermalite trench block~ blocks to improvise on between drawings they are a great 3D canvas for ideas, i first started using them in the late 70's and believe i was the first to give them an aesthetic value.
BE CAREFUL THE DUST IS CARSONEGENIC! Always work outside or be masked up, i have spent years perfecting the right tools and fixatives of my own design to use on this material, if anybody is interested in using this medium as a "canvas" i may be able to advise you and offer some tips!
Thanks for your attention!
