LoreCraft Tutorial 1 - Basic Air Dry Clay introduction

[@emmaharrison7450]

Sculptures fab..... presenter is even better!

[@mandycairns6816]

Thank you for being so clear, for weeks now I have been looking into sculpting, I am an artist I do alot of modern painting, but I have always been interested in sculpting, I've started out with Daz clay it's going ok but I'm finding it hard to find a good clay, I'm now off to look into the clay you recommend 🙏

[@vickia1042]

Wow You are so talented! Look at his eyes!

[@Madkklown]

I am from the Philippines. And I am waiting for my order of the tools and clay. I am interested in this type of art. Can't wait to get into it

When I saw the thumbnail I was like DOBBY

[@PENFOLD1962]

NEW SUBSCRIBER ...I can't believe my luck, I have always been interested in so many crafts. Lately my Wife asked me to make her a pot Halloween Pumpkin... hmmm I have never sculpt anything, other than adding to ornaments etc. But I have found myself really enjoying it, although I'm having loads of crack even though I cover everything with polythene bags! It is such a change from Pyrography, Wood turning, drawing and many other different crafts that I dabble in. Your videos are worth their weight in gold to me, so much information, advice, hints, tips and most of all British equivalents and monetary value! Something that other KZbinrs don't bother to include! Sooooooooo much more information... thank you, I'm already looking forward to seeing more of your videos👍😀👍

[@carmenkuhns3137]

I love your videos ! And the Dobby one my favorite I’ve taken virtual clases with a special piece do you do such a thing ? A virtual video teaching us how to do dobby? Of course I would pay for the class!🙏

[@dadunce4767]

im glad I found this. your art is amazing, keep up the good work.

[@LoreCraft]

Thank you kindly. You found this first and not my primary channel? Just wondering.

[@dadunce4767]

@@LoreCraft yes

[@LoreCraft]

@@dadunce4767 ah, wow, that's interesting. I figured these "how to" vids wouldn't gather much attention outside of my other subscriber base. Thanks for letting me know!

[@wolfman75]

Yes I was hoping for these kind of tutorials :-) I have been wanted to try clay sculpting. Thank You Sir!!! I can't wait for more!!! Much Appreciated!!! Just wanted to let you know wood tool link (us) does not work.

[@LoreCraft]

ah, sorry about that - the video is over a year old, so some of those links may longer be active. Appreciate the feedback btw, and I'll make more of these in the future.

[@wolfman75]

@@LoreCraft It's all good, no worries. Cool!!!

[@yd3941]

Your videos are great, man!

[@LoreCraft2ndchannel]

Thank you, my dude! Hoping to put more stuff up on the second channel in the near future, after the big move :)

Hello, Great video ! Thank you for all of the information. I'm just starting out myself so that all helps me. Can you tell me where I can buy the eyes for Dobby ? Or did you make those to? Thanks again.

[@joannapage528]

Yeah found it! Thank you for doing this I am in New Zealand...but have a question..How do you make a puppet head? Can you do a tutorial on that later please

[@annettedupras3546]

You are so talented..I am just starting to try this clay...sorry for the question..but how sturdy is air dry clay , when it dries...will it crumble after all your work?

[@Socrates...]

I am based in the UK. I have purchased Das air drying clay, 0.5mm wire and a sheet of fine wire mesh. I want to make Lund style chess set. I was worried that air drying clay would be very difficult to use fir fine details because it is soft and doesn't really harden...Is this true?

[@gueritahernandez94]

Air dry clay tends to want to dry up on you as you work. You have to soften it by spraying with water and put a damp towel over it when not being worked on. So I don't think it will be too soft.

[@elliebellie648]

You need to make more videos! Please

[@fenrir0527]

Really useful!!!

[@pastulio0312]

Thank you verry much. Looking foward to more vids. Will you be making a tutorial on how you build your armatures?

[@LoreCraft]

Sure man, I can do that. This is for you guys, so I will try to get to whatever I can that you want to learn/know the most.

[@pastulio0312]

Thanks

[@boingokky]

wonderful!

[@LoreCraft]

thanks man - want to make sure you guys get what you want. Really appreciate everyone that's helping out.

[@pumitriii6160]

John Krasinski does ceramics now?

[@whome5091]

Would you consider sculpting Boba Fett... you got mad skills dude ! ....or Gollom ... thanks

[@LoreCraft]

Gollum maybe someday. I want to do top quality work now, best of my ability, and now that I'm using advanced materials, projects need to be funded as much as possible. Unfortunately, when a character isn't trending, the view counts are low, so I can't count on YT revenues to cover it. That leaves it to Patrons, donors, and commissions, which are too few in number. If someone commissioned him, or did a money pool, I'd get right on it. Silicone costs a fortune, and it's weeks of work to make one of these. Gotta keep the lights on!

[@whome5091]

LoreCraft Completely understand .. appreciate you answering back and good job on all that you've done!

[@juliusrapeli9825]

A little old video but where did you buy your clay

[@mikaylanelson20]

I thought he was Nostradamus from the show ‘Reign.’

[@stehill2822]

Is this your job? As i woild like to sell sculptures in the near future? What do you think of thos bein profitable? Thanks

[@juliemillar4394]

Please tell us what your PhD is! ( I'm a creative person doing post grad study in an unrelated field too)

[@snoopylyn9065]

Can I use that to fix my deer statue in the garden?

[@LoreCraft2ndchannel]

Dunno sir! Depends on what it's made of, but if you did, you'd need to seal it because this stuff absorbs water otherwise

[@snoopylyn9065]

LoreCraft Tutorials thanks for answering my deer statue broken in half because of rain so I think won’t work for outdoor

[@LoreCraft2ndchannel]

@@snoopylyn9065 I think miliput epoxy putty might be a good idea for that. It's water soluble until it hardens. Once it hardens, its water proof and harder than stone. Here's a link to it, my amazon link: amzn.to/3h03ZJC

[@snoopylyn9065]

LoreCraft Tutorials thanks so much 👍🏼

[@missmisiowa]

Hi. This is an awesome introduction. Could you please advice which type/brand of clay (if any) I could use for the following project: I want to make a cylinder with small stones impressions all around it. When the cylinder dries (or bakes - but I only have access to home oven 250C), I would like to roll it / press it against soft clay to recreate these stones for the purpose of making a wall or a road for table top games. I would like to be able to reuse this cylinder many times. Apparently most clays would be to fragile for this purpose? There are some cylinders available commercially but I want to have my own unique patterns.

[@LoreCraft2ndchannel]

Oh my gosh. I wish I could be more helpful, but I'm really a more special effects, sculptor guy that doesn't fire anything in a kiln. Closest I get to baking anything is making something out of sculpey if I really need to. The characters I made earlier in my work are air dry clay - I never fired any of them. Best person to chat with about this sort of thing would be pottery folks, people that fire their work. Wish I could be more helpful. I AM interested in that stuff, but lifes too short to get everything in and I've shifted more into Spfx stuff, using oil and wax based clays now, and I cast in silicone, so definitely farther away from the profession you may be looking at. Hope my response was somewhat helpful. best to you!

[@alexred04lives]

Make Dante Sin Form

[@hitriyded]

Alita please

[@LoreCraft]

a chat/discussion video on Alita?

[@korbynwilcox6101]

Dude I thought you were the ak guy

[@LeonAllanDavis]

You lost me on the metric measurements and the British money. I have no idea what that all means. I just want to learn the basics of sculpting from an American perspective.
