Howdy Forum,
Sorry I need to introduce myself and backstory:
I am brand new to sculpting and crafting. When I say I am new to scuplting I mean I haven't even started yet. I am going to start my collection of tools today as well as find clay. I am a prop designer for a live action show and I have been using pvc pipe and wood to make swords, hammers, set pieces and armor. I have decided to up the ante and start making items that smaller people can use since most of the things I have made can only be used by myself. I have been researching casting and molds and realize my best option is to make my own custom props to give our show an even more unique style since it is branching into Youtube and wider audiences. I need any information for clays I would use for making sculptures to cast into molds. I need clays that mold easy and wont stay in the molds when I take them apart. Do ya'll have any recommended brands of clay and do I have to bake them before molding? Are there any specific tool sets I should shop for? any websites or info ya'll have I greatly appreciate I am here to learn and become a better designer. I have some pictures of stuff I have worked on for the show Ill link. Again Thank You and this is Day One for me on the forums so I look forward to learning from the pros here. Ciao
My full armor and Hammer (still needs work)
