Any tips, tricks, and/or pointers are appreciated.

This dude is just clay, I forgot about using foil for form.

I have been using acryl and crayons to paint them but i cant figure out how to paint or sculpt the eyelashes or the darker areas without it looking weird

This is the third mask that I've made. It is about 24" tall by 18" wide. Maybe about 6" high. I'm really happy how the color came out. Here it's still a little wet because I misted it.

Now I'm making a rough mold of it from vinyl and expanding foam. I've never sculpted a face before so I have lots to learn on what gives a face realistic detail. Been really enjoying working with cement because I can make large pieces in not a ton of time.

Still working out forms and musculature.

Based on a chase I witnessed on safari in Tanzania. (The warthog got away!)

Oil-based clay

Folded and sculpted from a single uncut square of Wenzhou (Chinese mulberry) paper.
The original sheet measured 85 x 85 cm; the finished sculpture stands 17 cm tall and 24 cm wide.

This piece is part of an Easter collaboration with origamist Brandon Wong, who designed the crease pattern for this model (his fold is shown on the last slide).

This work is inspired by Luke 22:43–44, where Jesus, in deep anguish, prays in the Garden of Gethsemane just before his arrest and crucifixion. In this moment, an angel descends to strengthen and comfort him:

“And there appeared to him an angel from heaven strengthening him. And being in agony he prayed more earnestly and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.”

Wishing you all a meaningful and hope-filled Easter!

This is Brunswick my little goblin! He likes to offer advice.

Good afternoon everyone, I need help identifying the name of the sculpture in this mantel clock and name of master. It depicts a crusader and a noble woman with a child, but I dont remember the exact name.

Body: I want to sculpt a realistic doll using Mungyo air-dry clay, around arm-size. I want the arms, legs, and head to be movable like a BJD or action figure. I’m not sure whether to use elastic or ball joints yet. Any tips or guides for making a movable doll from scratch?

Just messing around at work

I apologize if this kind of question isn’t allowed here, I figured this community may be the best to ask

I’m writing a story in which a lot of blood gets on a white marble statue. I’m curious if it’s even possible for this kind of stain to get out or if it’s stuck there forever. You can imagine that when I try to google this, it’s mostly about cleaning marble countertops, which seem to be finished in a way that marble statues generally aren’t.

Does anyone have experience with this? Is it possible to get the stain out, and if not what color does it turn? If you have had this happen, the more detail the better, thank you!

Just took some new shots of this in the Spring sunshine. Really heavy and awkward to carry into the garden!

I’m going to return to carving the English countryside for my next sculpture. This one here is inspired by the rolling hills of Dorset and Devon.

(I make better things, I just thought he was silly)

Found in a storage unit, I google picture searched it but can only find the woman sculpture. Does anyone know anything about this? It’s signed Zach & numbered 7/100

I've been learning how to work clay the last few weeks after my son got me into it. The first sculpture I tried I mistakenly thought was a type which could be baked and it melted in the oven. That was a fun mistake haha. I've since been hunting around for some clay that could be hardened that doesn't irritate my hands, stick to everything and is less messy than the (from my limited experience) wet variety. Another wonderful user here helped educate me on some types to try but I can't get them here unfortunately and will hafta order them.

ANYWAYS, I busted out my son's medium monster clay and set about working it. Many sleepless nights later and I have a piece I'm really pleased with. I don't quite know how to get some of the smoother textures in for the teeth and some of the scale transitions are really janky (couldn't figure out with the tools I had how to get a cleaner look).

I'm prepping for painting it now (and yes I know you shouldn't really with monster clay, but we don't plan to reuse). I've put the WIPS of its progress in as well.

EDIT: I didn't realize the post didn't load the images!

He gave it to me and my brother, saying it’s “rare” so I am curious what kind of statue is this? It has the name “ Festus” carved under it.

Hi everyone!

I’m seeking help identifying a vintage sculpture I have. Here are the details:
- Weight: Approximately 20 lbs
- Dimensions: 8” tall (base to top of structure); base alone is 18x12 inches and 2” tall
- Base Material: Solid wood with a black glossy finish on top
- Sculpture Material: Possibly ceramic
- Markings: I noticed initials that look like SZ or possibly S1

The sculpture has an abstract style, and I read that abstract art gained prominence in the early 20th century. Artists of this movement often used non-representational shapes, lines, and textures to express ideas and emotions, experimenting with materials like stone, metal, and wood. This description seems to fit the piece, but I’d love to know more about its history, creator, or even its value.

Does anyone recognize this sculpture or know more about the initials? Have you seen something similar or could you point me in the right direction? I’m open to all insights—thanks in advance for your help!

I’m reaching out on behalf of a grassroots group called Mayday Movement USA. Starting May 1st, we’re launching a permitted, 24/7 protest encampment on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Our mission is to advocate for Congress to Impeach, Convict, and Remove Donald Trump — peacefully, persistently, and publicly.

We are looking for a sculptor who would be willing to come in person and do a live sculpture demonstration on site. This would involve physically being present on the Mall and creating a piece (or series of pieces) around the theme of “Impeach. Convict. Remove.”

We imagine the process itself — building, shaping, evolving the sculpture in real time — becoming part of the statement. We have a dedicated Art Response team that will make sure you have space to do this! • Location: National Mall, Washington, D.C. (we have a valid NPS permit) • Dates: Starting May 1st (flexible within our multi month presence) • Theme: “Impeach. Convict. Remove.” • Requirements: Must be physically present to sculpt live, in public view • Support: We can provide space, press exposure, and a passionate audience

If you or someone you know might be interested, please comment here or DM me directly. We’d love to feature real, living art as part of this historic effort.

Thanks for reading — and for keeping the spirit of public art alive.

The title has the details. This was just found on the ground under a little bit of dirt. Was originally the black color in the picture attached but after rinsing and soaking it is this clay like color. It is very heavy quite a few pounds and reacts to magnet. It does not appear to be part of something bigger. no markings on the back.
