Review of A Sculptor's Guide to Tools and Materials (Paperback)

Rather boring lay-out, but it does provide info useful to help when looking for ideas not currently thought of when setting up projects.We use it in a fossil preparation laboratory for general review, but again, there are probably other texts that might fit the bill.Nevertheless I am glad our lab has it...too many young "creators" forget the obvious and this book helps remedy this problem.

Product Description
A comprehensive guide for the student sculptor who wants to learn about clay and wax modeling, wood carving, stone carving, ceramics, moist clay products, and mold making, casting, and enlarging.Addresses all aspects of the use and function of sculpting tools and materials used in traditional sculpture.Each chapter concludes with a troubleshooting section which answers questions most frequently asked by the student and those troublesome areas experienced by the sculptor. Also explains how tools are made.Charts on proportional requirements of materials, weights and measures, plus an extensive glossary of terms are provided.A key word technique can be used to easily explore a topic.
