How to make a Simple Sculpting Stand and use less Clay

- In this video I'm making a clay stand for a portrait in haste - I used to work on a metal holder that would start rusting and damaging clay. Therefore, I've decided to move just slightly away from tradition. This, so far, seems to efficient, light-weight, clay-saving and easily recyclable way.
I'm looking forward to seeing how it will behave when making a plaster mold.

I'm working on more videos on this topic and going through possible problems and tricks that can improve mold making and sculpting skills of absolute amateurs, too!

can i ask u an advice& if i work with typical wbased clay, should i put layer by layer on humansize sculpture, or its not important only if i used thick clay ? I have ask u cause, one famous sculptor created by clay 2 big human size sculptures , and he told that he spend on that 3 month of time, so i was curious why he needsso much time to do that. For me , to do 1 clay head need only 1-3 days, but head is most difficult part of human body.
I don't know if I'd recommend this in that case. I work with water based clay, too. I usually make little crosses (many of them) with wood which carry the weight, and I wouldn't risk with styrofoam center. Unless you have a lot of extra wooden crosses to carry the weight and so everything (in a thin layer) wouldn't slide off.
@@magdalenamodric i got it. So u say the main problem is sculpture skelet? If it created from iron sticks or reliable wooden parts, than u can put on clay as much as u want? Im asking cause i only worked with monsterclay material, and im a new at wb clay material. But soon i would got an order to create 1m gypsum sculpture, and think about how to work with wb clay correctly. I mean shoud i let dry clay after putting thin layers on skelet, or it doesnt matter if inner frame is strong enough? Thank u for yr help ❤️
@@eddiemunson7931 if so, I'd advise to make a wet clay portrait first to feel its limits. Wet clay can be tricky if all the "layers" and all parts of the work don't have a good construction and aren't on the same level of moisture. If it starts sliding off on some part which isn't supported well enough, the air comes in, and separates the sculpture. After the first time you start watering it or attempt to retouch it without fixing a problem inside, it will just "blossom" around the construction; separate, slide off in moist chunks. Small sculptures can show that problem if they've been on the stand for too long, but they are easy to fix. Wood holds much better, so I'd go with that and wooden crosses - I'll try to find an example. I hope this helps!
@@eddiemunson7931 perhaps I'm not googling properly. For a life-size figure you'd need about 50-60 little crosses. Most goes into the area of chest, abdomen, pelvis, thighs, some in calves, portrait, and in upper back. They're all attached to the main (metal) construction and are helping carry individual areas of the body. When you start building the sculpture, first you wrap ever individual cross with clay, then the metal construction, then merge it all together. Some extra wire here and there also helps.
How you make the crosses: cut a plank into small long slats (1cm x 1cm thickness).
Cut slats into lengths of 4cm.
Take two of those, put them into a form of cross and wrap them together with thin wire. Leave about 20cm extra wire so you can attach them to the construction. There has to be 10-15cm between the cross and the construction so they can hang.
I am a painter and sculptor from Egypt, and I wish to work with you. I admire your work very much, and I wish you success
Gracias por la demostración el como hacer la estructura interior para escultura ...
Brilliant!
Wow amazing und good tips!
I would like to see how do you remove the finished piece from the stand 🤔
Thank you! I will most likely film the process - I create a mold with plaster which is removed in two parts, and the clay is destroyed and a new plaster one is poured into the plaster mold - which eventually also gets destroyed and you are left with a plaster portrait 🙂
Thank you 😊
És uma grande artista parabéns pelo seu trabalho
👍👍👍
Very smart adding nails
keep it up🎉
enjoy ur video
❤❤❤
Merci pour cette vidéo.
Belle démonstration. Bravo ! Je voulais savoir comment vous la faites cuire par la suite. Merci pour votre réponse
Merci d'avoir regardé! Cette statue est sculptée en plâtre (récemment), mais je cuit l'argile à 1000°C. Dans la nouvelle vidéo, j'ai réalisé un moule pour cette statue
oo 👍❤
👍
❤
how long is the stick? ❤
Not sure at the moment - I'd say about 40 centimeters! 🙂
@@magdalenamodric how do you remove the sculpture from the base? :)
És uma mulher linda ❤
Odd question but where do you find styrofoam? Also what inspired you to use this method? I can't seem to find any other artists online who are using styrofoam armatures
I usually save it from any packaging when ordering something. I wanted to use less clay and have a more lightweight sculpture when in process. The same portrait has been on that stand ever since I've made this (it's been a little over 6 months I think) and it's doing great! I open it every month just to check the moisture and possible mold... - I even moved apartment; but so far, no mold and it's perfectly "moisturized" since then.
@@magdalenamodric Smart. I'm going to try this for a portrait with plasticine soon. Just need to stockpile a bit of styrofoam first :-)
Hi your work so beautiful and amazing, i like it and i hope you are doing great 😊
