WIP for Gymnast sculpture 2by *MarkNewman

Traditional Art / Sculpture / Figurative

I've applied warmed clay first underneath the foam pieces squishing it onto the wire armature then squishing the foam pieces back in place similar to brick and mortar. The clay cools and it secures the foam to the armature so the sculpture wont wiggle loosely on the armature further down the road. And it will. without doing this. The clay is warmed in a 18 quart portable roaster oven at around 150 F.

Thanks, i have been looking for information about that clay but it doesnt say if it can be baked.

Does it work like polymer clays?

No, not at all. This clay never dries out or cures in any way. It will melt if you try and bake it. It's meant for sculpture that will be molded and then cast in another material.

That is interesting... we have in my country a product called "Plastilina", it is softer than say super sculpey and needs no kneading, it can hold very well the fine details.

Was wondering if it was kind of the same since its oil based yet it doesnt cure in any way and it melts with heat, but is quite cheap, mostly labeled as a pre-school product and comes in a variety of colors.
