IMPORTANT NOTE:

In order to carry out your ideas in clay sculpture - you must first have the right collection of ceramic sculpting tools to hand. There is such a confusion of modelling tools online people sometimes confuse 'potters' tools from pottery supplies websites (and even stone carving rifflers) with clay artists tools. You could be forgiven for the confusion because on first appearances they may look similar. Normally, online and in shops they seldom help you with your choices, thus multiplying the mystery. Here, you get every help possible, so no mysteries and no confusion.

Go to my Essential Ceramic Sculpture Tools Guide for details which explain how to use clay tools for ceramic sculpture.
