sculptor's tools

in my sorting, I got round to mum's art things

- this is her box of clay sculpting tools - she did figurative studies from life

- What I liked was that the thing stuck in the tin is a bandage! It may have a function for wet clay - it may just be a precaution. Drying clay [leather stage?] can be quite hard, and there are some sharp tools in there.

I [not me] also have lots of Stanley blades in the house - and I am afraid of them. So it's not really funny at all.
Nice tag 😂
Definitely a good idea to have a bandage or two.
And what a wonderful skill to have - sculpting from life

@pcoulson thank you, Peter. This isn't actually the complete set - she used to make her own too!

@narayani she'd done some at mature student teacher training college - and then when she took Very Early Retirement, she went to several years of classes from the local FE college :-)

Do you have any of her pieces?

Oh wow. How interesting - makes sense to have some bandages on hand! Do you have any of her pieces to show us some photos of what she did?
