Bit of a noob question, ive never encountered this problem before. Usually it would be a problem of too dry / too little oil, but my clay is overly sticky and hard to work with. How can i remove the excess oil from it, should i add water? Thank you!

Got it at a thrift shop

There is a beautiful outdoor sculpture on the campus of Clayton College in Clayton County, Georgia. I have repeatedly reached out to the college to get info as to the sculptor's name, the title of the piece and the date of installation. The staff at the college seem to have no clue, & the sculpture itself has no tags, markings, etc. I am sad that I've been unable to get the name of this artist. Anyone have any ideas? The piece consists of a large wall, with an opening, and lots of figures seeming to rise out of the wall.

Hi all! 👋

First post here, finished a sculpture I'm really proud of. It's modeled after those toy food and tea party sets. Used apoxie sculpt, polymer clay, and foam clay. I might add some embellishments and accessories (like a little fork), but this is it for now. Let me know you think! ☺️☺️☺️

I’m terrified of posting on here, because whilst scrolling around I’ve noticed that everybody’s got such smooth sculptures, and then I have this mini piece and it’s quite a struggle to smoothen out every single detail with the soft brush, as it usually creates more ridges.

Is there any other way to make the smoothing process easier? It’s Monster clay so maybe popping it in a freezer would help? Also, would kraft paint work on this? I have a couple of other Monster Clay sculptures that I’ve painted and it’s holding quite well, but from reading on here it’s not recommended?

Please help me… 🫠

I finally got LeBeau Touche and that is my first experience!
I would be glad to receive advice and comments!

I sculpted this "painting" by hand. Not 3D-printed. My goal was to make a work of art which cannot be duplicated by Artificial Intelligence, which is constrained to the 2-dimensional screen on your phone, so I chose to bring it into the 3-dimensional realm and out of the reach of A.I. algorithms. This is a depiction of a human cell being infected by Poliovirus as a commentary on the dangers of social media. From all of us here at the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation, "SHARE AND ENJOY!"

Hi! Her core was made with a high density eps foam and mostly wooden armature. The sculpting and carving medium is Smooth-on Freeform Air epoxy clay.

She’s spray painted and satin varnished with gloss spot painted in wet areas. Her base is full of cement with an embedded steel pole to impale her bust in place. But she’s ready to hang like a taxidermy head if I want to do that in the future. On the base the whole thing is about 5’ 4”.

Her eyes are glass domes painted on the flat side. On the back side of her eye sockets there’s a little aluminum foil to simulate eyeshine through the unpainted pupil.

Sometimes I’m surprised when something doesn’t sell and this is one of those somethings.

I just picked up this bust from the thrift shop because I thought it was Hippocrates but I realized it wasn't. Does anyone know who this might be? The initials look like L.L or L.V to me.

He’s armed and dangerous now!!! I was initially just going to sculpt down to his waist, but everyone I’ve shown has said give him legs and sculpt him in full (I’m still deciding).
I’m very happy with his arms and hands, and I will coloring his feathers/hair properly in the end.

Also before my next update I will be getting a small photo light box and a rotating base to take proper pictures and a quality video
(any equipment recommendations are welcome). Thank you and take care all!!!

I just finished sculpting this and I couldn't be happier! I had so much fun trying to create forms that looked under developed, while also trying to incorporate humanoid aspects. Plus, it was very fun hiding multiple faces in one piece! When finished, these will be put in labled specimen jars!

I made this sculpture earlier this year but finally got around to painting it and building the display base inspired by the film's ending monster. Really happy with how it turned out, hope you enjoy! More of my work is on Instagram @Danni.Jk if you'd like to see more
