With clay and other modeling materials, there is so much you can do that they represent a true dream for every artist and offer excellent opportunities to enrich your mixed-media works with an additional element. If baking and firing aren’t your thing, then you have just the right book in your hands! In "Diverse Modeling Techniques," you will use modeling materials in a completely different way than usual - and you won’t need a kiln or pottery oven. We show you a wide range of alternatives to clay, such as casting resin, plastic, papier-mâché, plaster, and more - and we explore the numerous and surprising applications that these materials offer. Create beaded jewelry or a large sculpture. Make a print or a textured background for a painting. Take a cast of a found object or a part of something.
