Manual of Sculpting Techniques

by John Plowman

In this handbook on sculpting, colour photographs and step-by-step instructions guide the reader through the techniques used in this most versatile of art forms. A wide range of sculpting materials is covered - from the traditional (such as wood, stone and clay) to the less traditional (such as aerated concrete, plaster, resin and polystyrene). A gallery of finished works shows how accomplished sculptors have approached subjects ranging from the abstract to portrait busts and figurative works.
