I found at a Goodwill for $10. The label reads Josep Bofill and has a number 196/285 on the casting. It's 79 cm tall and heavy. His pieces go for a little to a lot. I found a similar piece that went for $250 15 years ago. Is that about right?
I have a rather big and heavy figure, candleholder, with a putto on. He is placed on a flat plate and is reaching up to hold the candle itself. He has a mark on the back of it that I can’t identify, I was hoping someone in here could point me in the right direction.
I posted photos of a sculpture here and got some interest on how it was made, I thought some people out there might be interested in this process video I made. Apologies to the mods if it's not the right place to post this.
A quick question: I’ve recently gotten back into messing around with super sculpey (last time I touched the stuff was about a couple of decades ago). I’ve got a lot of experience with art-making, so I’m not looking for “starter-kit” advice just to get my bearings, so much as what those of you that are well-versed/pro in this clay would consider “essential” tools to have on hand? The kit I’ve got is getting me decent results so far, but I’m wondering if there are any tools etc that any of you have decided are must-haves?
The first 5 were my SW.
The others are the pieces I finished and didn't use, but there are SO many I started and never got to complete (Made it easy to do my SI tho)
This portfolio is : The Truth Behind
and in order each piece is:
I plan to eventually finish the other ones I started, but man burn-out is finally kicking in after four years of non-stop ceramics
Hey!
I'm an artist but relatively new to 3D art / sculpture.
I have an idea which involves making a plaster cast of some natural areas (about a foot square) e.g. a path up a mountain or the texture of a lakeshore.
From my googling, the materials used to make the negative moulds are liquids, which might be difficult to use on the floor and outdoors!
Does anyone know if other, non-liquid materials will work that I can take an impression with?
I was wondering about air-dry clay?
I'd want to use something that's non-toxic to the environment as well.
Thanks so much!

EPS and spray foam and thermo molded plastic. I was the foam sculptor. Others were responsible for the design, coating, and painting. I think it turned out nice, and the kids seem to like it. Can be seen at Thanksgiving Point in Lehi, Utah.
The first one I've made was for my soul dog. He loved his green chair. And because its just for my boy, I can accept the significant imperfections.
I haven't started trying to get a customer because I just can't imagine someone wanting something wonky.
The ottoman is just something I made so I can have examples to show.
I struggle so hard to get the sides even, to get my 90* angles. Look at how the lid doesnt fit the size of the box.
I just don't know how to do better.
I want people to have a unique urn for their bebebs. A piece of furniture that their pet loved.
But do you want your pet resting in a wonky urn?
The amount of time I spent on the urn turns the cost (even if I'm working at minimum wage) is...a lot.
I just want to make the perfect resting spot and I just can't be proud of this ottoman.
First paint layer on my handmade grimoire. Thoughts?
Still a work in progress, but I’m trying to make this feel like an old cursed book with a hand trapped inside. I just finished the first paint layer and I’m planning to add more texture and an aged pale skin effect to the hand. Any feedback before I continue?
It seems like an expensive and time consuming hobby. Doesn’t really fit the “starving artist” type
The reliefs I created on 0.2 mm thick copper
No clue what this was cast with, found it today. Very heavy in weight, my thoughts are maybe concrete with metal? I’m not too sure. Any ideas would help.
