Reader notes

No fluff, just the facts!

I took up sculpting several months ago, and Ive found my "niche" with polymer clay doll-making. Ive dabbled in ceramic and terra-cotta medium, but Im also willing to try different methods of creations in the 3D World. I bought this book to give me some insight into different techniques, and thats just what it contains. Unlike so many books that try to be everything to everyone, this book gets down to the facts quickly, giving the reader a good idea of what a venture into a new sculpting medium will mean in terms of equipment and expertise. There are plenty of books that will walk a reader through every little step to create a clone of what the writer or artist has created. This book guides the reader towards the tools and different methods, without incringing on the readers own creativity. I hope to find other books like this one on subjects like painting and photography, although sculpting is quickly becoming a passion and consuming most of my "art time". Bravo to the writer(s) and publishers of this book, and thank you!!
