Artist, David Stead has a first attempt at making a figure sculpture from plaster, taking you step by step through the process with a mishap or two along the way.

I find it magical, the “mistakes” we make. In your case, breaking your own head. It’s symbolic to me.

We dont make mistakes. We have happy accidents... BOB ROSS. Enjoyed your video. Thank you for sharing.

The process is very organic and cathartic, to be sure. I love that you are "keeping it real" in a fake world.

So happy to find your video David. I’m a beginner sculptor too, working with plaster (look up the “dry lake bed” technique for plaster mixing. No matter, this is super helpful - I’m subscribing. P.s. love your energy!!!❤

Not sure I realised you had been _so_ sick, but what a journey you've had! So many have been left feeling vulnerable, or at least changed, by the pandemic. I believe beauty, i.e., art, is both our salvation and a prompt to move forward. Thus, I can't help but think the work you're doing now is extremely important. 🙏

Thank you David, this is such a useful lesson. I am working in a plaster statue using polystyrene rubbish from a skip and an aluminum wire armature, I love the ankle problem, it has made me consider weight distribution as mine will be top heavy. I will use your video as a reference. All the best

Hi Nick. Since making the vid I've discovered Jesmonite...superb modeling material.

Thank you@@DavidSteadStudio , I'll have a look at that when Ive become a more confident sculptor, I'm a nart foundation mature student learning to think in three dimensions after doodling all my life. ICurrently discovering the perils of quick drying plaster, mine is over stirred, leaving me with two good mixes to three disasters, I.m glad I ordered 25KG!!

Hey David, I love this. How has this stood the test of time? Has it since cracked and withered to nothing, or is this method nice and durable? Going to start something similar myself..
