Links to Sculpting and Casting tutorials

We have so many great links to tutorials that I am going to put as many as I can find into this sticky. If you know of any that I missed please feel free to add the links here.

Please keep this on topic and only post the links to sculpting tutorial. Thank you.

Kelly Borsheimarts is the author, and she has some really informative lessons on sculpting a portrait in clay, kiln firing, applying a patina to look like bronze and creating a mold.

Re: Links to Sculpting and Casting tutorials

Lady Rando,

I missed something, somehow. I watched your tutorial and saw how you put the magic sculpt on in sections. The color of it is green. You original mold is brown, and that ended up in a pile after it was dug out. There seems to be a missing step for me. You made a latex mold that fits inside the green Magic Sculpt stuff. And, then you pour the hydrostone in that. Did I miss the step on how you made the latex? I am so sorry if it is there in front of me, and I can't see it. Blame in on Starbucks, cause I have to give that up, and maybe I am sluggish. Can you show me how to make the mold that goes inside the green Magic stuff? Thanks!

Look here and you'll see where I painted on the latex in layers before building the the mother mold from magic sculpt.

Smile Re: Links to Sculpting and Casting tutorials

Thank you for the opportunity to add a sculpting tutorial series to your list.

I have started a series of tutorials via my blog which will cover wire sculpture to begin with. This will be followed by clay, bronze, cold cast bronze, woodcarvings, and abstracts.

The articles will discuss the "What" and will be accompanied with an announced free "What" report and subsequently followed by an available "How" report.

We have started with an introductory to wire sculpture, to be followed with tools, supplies, etc..

It is my hope that this information will be helpful to those who wish to try techniqes other than those they are utilizing now.

My Blog

Again, Thank You

My Sculpture Site

This site is about to be revised...the pictures will be better and clearer, and some of my wire scultures will be added. P.S. At the present time nothing on that site is for sale, just for your information.

Re: Links to Sculpting and Casting tutorials

a few of these links seem out of date, are there any clay sculpture tutorials out there?

Many thanks

Re: Links to Sculpting and Casting tutorials

Hi Soren,

Here's a link to website called, Figurines-sculpture.com, written often in 1st person narrative by artist Peter Holland. He explains lots of tidbits, techniques, and tools that he uses in his own sculpting for Coalport, Royal Worcester, and Royal Doulton. I think it's great to be able to get the insider on how he works, knowing that he such an accomplished sculptor!
