Joanna-

I've been looking at your videos because I'm interested in taking up scupting. I've purchased a few materials but I'm stumped on the clay. I thought I should use wet clay, but since polymer clay doesn't dry out I'd like to know the difference between the two and why you and (I think) most serious sculptures prefer water based. Is water based better for detail when doing faces or figures.

[JoannnaMozdzen]

@swishtut Water based clay is inexpensive, what is important when you create big pieces. It can be fired for permanency. This kind of clay it is perfect for making “sketchy” pieces.

[JoannnaMozdzen]

@swishtut There is nothing wrong with using polymer clay. This is popular clay for small prototypes where a high degree of details is needed. It can be baked for permanency. Because polymer clay has kind of rubbery texture it is better to use wooden or dental tools.

really beautiful work , do you make casts of your work for bronze pieces? great video ,well done!

[JoannnaMozdzen]

@AndybronzemasterX No, I do not cast my work in bronze. Most of my sculptures are made out of clay which I fire in low temperature.

I love your videos, but I didn't ever heard your voice... where are you from?

[JoannnaMozdzen]

@HellenaMaezono With my heavy accent it is hard to hide my true nationality. I am from Poland but I live in Canada.

What do you do with the sculptures when you are done? Sell them? Just curious. I can see busts lying all around my house.
