This is a highly illustrated reference for both beginners and slightly more advanced sculpture students, covering all the basics they would need to do a wide range of sculpting activities. The book is filled with step-by-step photographic sequences which show the reader how to model with clay, plaster, wire and papier mache; select and use wood, and stone for carving, and make armatures and moulds for building and casting. All in all, it is a good basic guide for anyone interested in having a go at making models and sculpture.
