Honestly, this is the first sculpture lesson I’ve taken under a professional sculptor . I’m not really an expert on this thing, but managed to record the process during this project.

I’m not familiar with Talc or Dry Clay Powder as I’ve never used those before.

Based on my experience with this material, it is not plastic based , this is wax based oily substance. How hard is it? You can see that in this vide o. If this is not hard enough, our fiberglass mold would be deformed in the process.

Congratulation! Nice video. I’ve been looking for the clay recipe for months so far. I’d like to make a few questions ok? Can I substitute Kelsomine powder for Talc ou Dry Clay Powder? Is you clay as plastic as chavant or roma plastilina? How hard is it? Add me on msn, if you want. . com Thanks a lot!

superbe modelage.

In this life size project, we used about 40 Kilos net weight of the modeling clay. I’m not keen enough about the exact measurements, but by rough estimate, I think we used about 20 Kilos of micro crystal wax and 3 sacks of Kalsomine powder. But this is full size 2 statues, so let’s estimate the materials for a single bust It must be around 6 kilos, use about 2 .5 kilos of crystal wax per 4kilos of Kalsomine powder.

Modeling clay are reusable, just experiment with the right mixture.

If you’ll gonna be using paraffin wax such as the one used in candle making, I’m afraid that won’t work. Paraffin isn’t malleable. I haven’t researched on this, but you can experiment modifying the crystal properties paraffin wax. by using additives such as EVA copolymers, or microcrystalline wax, but that adds up to the cost..Though a bit costly, stay with crystal wax and you’ll be safe. It is actually micro crystal wax, but we call usually call it “micro wax” in stores.

Can I substitute the crystal wax with paraffin wax? And can you tell me an estimate measurement if I were to make a life-size bust? Since I can’t possibly use up all 1 sack of kalsomine powder.

Thanks.

Can you use paraffin wax instead of crystal wax? And what is the estimate measurement for materials if I were to make a life-size bust?

Thanks!!

If you’re thinking about using your ordinary oven as a kiln to fire your clay/ earthenware sculptures, I’m afraid you can’t do that. Earth clay sculptures requires 1000 Degrees Celsius at most firing, and ordinary stove or oven can’t produce that temperature.

This video just tackle on preparing modeling clay (wax based) for your modeling/ molding projects and requires casting to produce finished product. Modeling clay, or children’s toy clay doesn’t harden. It is different from ceramic clay.

Hey, this doesn’t have much with the video, but i like to make miniature furniture in Art Class. I was thinking of buying 100 pounds of clay, can you use your ordinary oven as a kiln, like to fire the miniature furniture i like to make?
And if you can use your ordinary oven, what degree should it be at, and for how long?

Thanks.

Modeling clay has wax content and doesn’t harden. Therefore there’s no need to bake or fire into an oven. Just mix the Kalsomine powder and the molten wax.

This is a Fiberglass/ Resin sculpture. We used modeling clay only for molding purposes and cast the final product with fiberglass and resin. If you want to make clay sculpture, use clay materials that is used for the purpose such as the one used in ceramics. Then you can harden it by firing it in an oven to produce your final product.

I wanted to try sculpting…
but just little figurines about the size of a basketball…
do you have to bake them or are there some kinds where you can just let them air dry…

Musta rin bro. Good luck dyan, and see u next year

THE SIKAT GROUP

great job freddie and carlvien!!!! i really miss the group….thanks fro sharing manny, keep it up!!!! see u guys next yr!

The title of the song is “Hokus Pokus **** Dokus”, performed by K3, a Flemish girl band with a Dutch repertoire, and mainly aimed at pre-adolescent children. The name of the group is derived from the names of the three singers: Karen Damen, Kathleen Aerts and Kristel Verbeke. The music is produced by production company Studio 100.

…I love the song too! It reminds me of my kind of music in the 80’s.

Love the music… “hokus pokus deekie docus, pokie dik`e dokis…”

Awesome Work!!!!! Thank you so much, for sharing!

Hi sir, i was wondering where I could purchase modeling clay in the Makati/Pasig area? I’m very much interested in sculpture, and I would like to give it a shot.
