The art of water sculpturePart 1: My questionsFor my I-Search project, I chose to learn to sculpt with a new medium clay to widen my “tool belt”; the profiles I make would be a good reference for drawing and would also help me gain experience and sculpt figurines in polymer clay.

On the other hand, his assistant did send me a file and a link answering the most asked questions about Mr. Faraut.
