Tools You Need for Sculpting Clay: Pt. 1

Video Transcript

Hi. I am Chitrotpola Mukherjee, speaking on behalf of Expert Village and I am from India. Now I am going to show you the tools that we normally use for sculptures or any work in clay. The tools are actually very simple; there is nothing complicated about the tools. We have different kinds of tools like these three pieces that you see are for turning. Now turning means that when you are working on a piece of clay, whether it's a plate or it is a statue or any kind of piece and you want to carve out or take out some amount of clay; this is used. And you have little pieces that have different curvatures so that it suits more angular. These are more curved; this one is a little more curved. So for different purposes, you can use this extremely simple tool. It is very simple, as you can see. So it is not very complicated if you are doing work in clay. This is one thing I would like to show you. Then you have the spatulas. You know, when you want to flatten something, you want to smooth something; you want to use these spatulas. These spatulas are used differently -- broad, not so broad and very thin ones which you will use for smoothing and getting the surface right. You use a bit of water if necessary. Once it is dried, you want to clean up the dust, so you clean it nicely so that it doesn't have any kind of surface problems. Thank you.
