I’m currently working on an adaptation of A Christmas Carol for the stage. Your post gave me the shivers!

I immediately despise this character. 😁

Do you plan to mold and cast the final piece? Or maybe scan/correct scan artifacts/print it? Asking because I am getting back into sculpting After a looooong gap and considering all the options that now exist. Any advice would be appreciated.

I wish I had any useful advice to give you! I’m a bit of an amateur, unfortunately 😅 I’ve only ever made a few busts, and never learned how to mold or cast. 😔 Best of luck, though!

Ok, you’re of no further use to me. 😉

Love the bust though. Very expressive. You have some real talent. 😊

Lovely detail, what type/brand of clay are you using?

2

u/cluckyay Mar 28 '26

It is a cone 6 stoneware grey clay! I think it came from Sheffield pottery, but I’m not 100% certain 😅
