Clay Sculpture

Air-dry clay hardens at room temperature — no kiln required. A 5 lb block gives you plenty of material to practice all three hand-building techniques and still have enough for your portfolio piece.

A set of wooden and wire-loop sculpting tools for scoring, smoothing, carving, and trimming. Much more precise than fingers alone once you start adding texture and detail to your pieces.

A stretched canvas board makes a perfect non-stick work surface — clay releases cleanly, the canvas texture doesn't mark the clay bottom, and it's easy to rotate your work as you build.
