Working with our hands in clay is a primeval force not to be ignored. Clay sculpting is almost as old as mankind. It has evolved right alongside us. We like staring into fires. We love to work with clay. You will find a lot more information on this subject in the 'Clay Art' section of this website.
See the myriad of ideas you can achieve with 3-dimensional art on a special web page I put together here: 'art sculpting'.

Other Neat Places To Go For Sculpting Info:
Don't worry if you're just starting out. In this section I will show you simple methods in order for you to create gorgeous and diverse art.It's all part of the fun and ''War of Art'. Are you a warrior or a wimp?
You need to turn thoughts into actions and be accountable for your own creative self-fulfillment.
Who knows, you might even make a living from your hobby one day, like me! It beats working for a living!
When I was starting out in clay sculpting, I would have given anything for a website like this one to guide me through. There was no internet then. I didn't go to college, so had to pick up bits of knowledge from here and there. If you click on the book links you will see in my notes that several of the books listed were great sources of info for me at that time.
What finally got the ball rolling was going to a workshop run by a pro sculptor. Once there I began to realize my latent talent and produce work I was proud of and was validated by others.By all means work with the information on this website, but I recommend you cement this learning by attending a local workshop, or night class. By doing so, you make a personal statement of intent - a commitment to yourself which holds you accountable and makes your intentions more pro-active. It worked for me!
Go to the
local sculpting classes search page

Montreal sculptor Joel A Prevost runs very well thought of workshops in Canada and I would recommend checking out his
sculpting workshop site.
