Have you ever stood in front of a sculpture and wondered how different textures are achieved? How masses are applied, and creases refined?

In this video, Graduate in Residence at The Florence Academy of Art, Jana Büttner, displays her arsenal of favorite sculpting tools (drawing, loop and rake to name a few..), and gives useful insight about each type of tool and the different effects one can achieve, as well as cleaning and care tips, and even customization advice.
Some tools are store-bought, others are artisan made, or even handmade and customized by Jana herself!

Jana’s favorite drawing tools can be purchased at Tiranti here: www.tiranti.co.uk

Her favorite modeling tools are handmade by wood artist Luigi Cavolata, from Rome.
