Would love to see: (1) finishing demo, (2) larger body size sculpture demo! Would also love to contribute to that financially

Thank you for this series!

Hello :) I was wondering if it was possible to make a mould with alginate casting of a sculpture made from plaster and not clay? So essentially make a mould to make a copy of a plaster sculpture? i am wondering because plaster is not oil based so will it not work? does it work if you cote the plaster sculpture in oil first? I have never doen anything like this before😅 thanks!

Plasticine seems like the perfect clat to start sculpting. I´ll try sine before trying to use epoxy putties on my minis

Working on head sculpt. Just what I needed! Thank You So Very Much for your Hard Work!

great lesson and thank you... but man ever been told you waffle on a bit. over all around 15 minutes of waffle, please work on being more concise please, IE: "i am grabbing the wire with two hands." ah here i was about to use my telekinetic powers lol. i watched twice though. there's good information in here.

Thank you :)

Would love to see how you finish it with paint or ...... :)

When you say it's a prototype it means this is not the real sculpture? It's just to give you an idea how to make one bigger? This sculpture, could you sell it when finished???? Thank you for all of your information. It's really interesting. How long could this sculpture last if taken care of and how do we take care of it? AND if you take out the screws, will it be able to stand elsewhere , like on a flat surface? THAN YOU :)

Thank you so much. I had stopped my passion till I found another way of sculpting because I couldn't fire my sculptures. I LOVE CLAY so I am SO HAPPY having a solution without firing it. Gratitude :)

Thank you :)

Could we still sell it even though it wasn't fired to become ceramic? If so, I guess it is worth less????Please.

Such a talented man giving us inspiring and informative videos. Thanks so much.

I have seen alot of videos on sculpting. Very few build from the anatomy bottom up. Its a very very cool technique. Alot can be learned.

Is there a video before this one please showing how to construct the fence and what it’s made of? Also, was the clay coated in anything to aid release once the mould is hard? I remember doing this about 50 years ago and I seem to recall using very thin squares of copper to construct the fence. Is this no longer done. I want to start sculpting again and your site has been very helpful in reminding me of most of the various processes. Many thanks.

Could you tell me please if the clay had been allowed to dry out fully before the plaster cloth was added or had it still been kept under the damp towel and plastic? Many thanks.

Hello, did you do the other chapters?

I have made some charactures with plasticine but they are covered in finger prints. How can I avoid this?

Excellent idea.TY for sharing! Bless you!🙏

From watching the video, the second one was the bad one where it wasn't mixed properly and was too thick. The first one looked much better imho

I need the name of the clay you use

what is the canvas board for? You didn't use it.

where is part 2? What about the eyes? the back of the head?

Me encanto

Such a clear and concise video. Great teaching!

It is so great that you are so serious and not at all superficial, I like this video very much!❤

Thank you, your video is very helpful.

So could you use air dry clay after plaster cloth strips?

Where. do. We. get. These ಬ,?

Excellent "Mad Science" video! Acid Base chemistry, never ceases to amaze!

Hey Nathan, thanks so much for the tutorial. Some great ideas to try out. My gesso is a lot thinner than yours though. Probably cheaper too. Greetings from Scotland 👍

This sculpture takes me back to the 90s VERY NICE:)

Very very helpfull thank you si much

Thanks for this

Strange how some of the most inspiring videos are ones very few people are watching. I found ceramics too hard to be expressive with on one of my courses at my first art school. I was always going to be a 2D specialist, mainly painting and drawing. The only material that fascinated me in ceramics was plaster-forming, though we did no more than fill party balloons to produce interlocking forms. Then recently I set up a corner of my mini studio at home for plaster so that my friend could do some experiments. My own small attempts have been rather banal, but having watched your video the potential of plaster reliefs seems to have opened up for me. I will need to buy some extra bits but it looks like I could enjoy something again that I had left behind. Thank you very much for making this video, which is obviously intended for your students. As I say I am a painter (a rather old one too), but even so a small light bulb has switched on for me. Thank you again.

Hi - thank you for your videos I've learned a lot! I'm just wandering why you are using clay if not firing or casting? Could you just add plaster to it so you have a finished piece that will last?

Süper

Ectrs thank you

NPI

Are they too thick to fire?

I look

Nathan, why you want to sculpt the lips first ? I'm curious about it

Does air dry clay crack when applied to a wire armature?

this channel is tremendously underrated. beautiful comparations.

thank you! made a whole skull with this tutorial!

crank up the audio Nate

Relaxing and fruitful! How interesting forms come from the simple fingers! Thank you for the class, following, teacher! I am learning to draw and this forms attract me and give ideas, so nice to feel creativity flowing!
