Polymer Clay Sculpture Art

 Polymer Clay Sculpture Art: How To Get Started With Polymer Clay 

Clay sculpture art or has been around since pre-historic times. The attraction of the art form was traditionally because of the easy availability of clay material used to create sculpture forms. Today this fine art form is used as, a therapy  and to teach learn those who want learn the craft.

To create clay sculptures you first will require the proper medium which of course, is clay. To start, finding the right kind of clay for the type of sculptures you are contemplating creating.

Are there various type of clay?

Yes. Sculpting clay, additionally described as potter’s clay, has been cleansed of impurities and also this has a fairly homogenous consistency. The three basic types are air dry clay, non drying clay and clay that requires an oven.Clay, which also known as Potter’s clay-based can be found in a variety of volumes, from 5 pounds to 100 extra pound blocks. After you have decided on the type of clay you are going to use, you will now require tools to help with your sculpting process. If you are  sculpting faces you will need tools like a Modeling Kit which has the following

1. Shaping tool

2. Modeling Tool

3. Scraping Tool

4. Smoothing & Cutting Tools

5. Oven(Kiln) depending on the type of clay being used

6. Armature wire

Note: These tools are suggestions, many people use the oldest tool at their disposal which their hands.

You could utilize almost everything for a shaping resource. Some popular objects used for forming clay-based feature blades, forks and also structure resources. You are going to also wish to receive a wire for cutting the clay. If you want to harden your clay sculpture you will certainly require a oven (Kiln) to dry out and harden your sculpture. These heat ovens are available in a variety of sizes from small table leading models to extra big section systems. The final stage that you will certainly need are glazes.

Once you have acquired your tools of choice to create your art. Now you can begin to let your creativity flow to a level in which you probably did not know you had. This is the therapeutic aspect of sculpting. Allowing one’s creativity to run wild and to allow others to experience who you are in sculpture form.

Why Clay Sculpture Art? Why not. Clay is like life, mutable. What I mean is that this medium allows the artist to amend mistakes once the mistake is brought to your attention  and you have an opportunity to create it or leave it and the mistake can be a lesson for future art or the mistake could be exactly what the piece was missing. Either way, at least for myself I find life and clay have a lot of parallels.
