After my successful experiments in my previous project Habitat, I wanted to explore sculpture in this project too. Unlike my last project where I used kiln clay and glass glazes I wanted to try polymer clay for this one.
The reasons for this were mainly centred around accessibility, for me to be able to produce initial experiments, develop them and end up with a final piece I really liked I would need more time than I had at this stage of my development when factoring in the other aspects like my file and sketchbook alongside the restrictions the current coronavirus pandemic would have on me. I opted for oven bake super sculpey as it would allow me to create an array of experiments in a short amount of time. The official site was incredibly useful, as its advice on armatures and internal structures would serve to save me a lot of trial and error in sculpting time in these experiments. https://www.sculpey.com/create/support/faqs/ I also know from previous experience working with them that they work well alongside acrylics and gloss paints, which are all mediums I currently have which will save me cost when working. |Currently, amazon sell 3 1kg boxes for £30 which I will purchase, any not used for this I’m sure will be used in the future which avoids wasteful practice.
