Information About

The final form of any sculpture is determined not only by its subject and theme, but by the materials and techniques used to create it. This text is a complete guide to one of our most ancient and versatile arts. The A-Z techniques section provides colour photographs and step-by-step demonstrations to guide you through each aspect of sculpting, from building an initial armature to colouring the finished work and mounting it on a base.
