SOLD OUT! The second edition is currently in progress. I hope to have it available in a couple of months (by May, hopefully). Please bookmark this page - when you see a new cover for the book, it will be available! You'll be able to purchase it on Amazon.com as well as here. I'm not taking back orders at present because the new book may be a different price. Thank you for your interest!

8 1/2" x 11", 80 pages, fully illustrated. Includes how-to's on: three types of clay; armatures; bases; style points; finishing techniques; foundry terminology; suppliers; etc. Also includes a sample horse measurement chart, a comparative measurement chart for horses, and information on how to make measurement charts that meet your particular needs. Intended for the novice through the experienced sculptor, this book can answer a multitude of "how-to" questions.

The book is written in a friendly, conversational style. Here's an excerpt from Chapter 1:

"Clays are wonderful to use because you can do both subtractive sculpting (where you remove material from the original sculpting medium - stone or wood, for instance - until you get to the finished look you want) and additive sculpting (where you add to the original sculpting medium, as you do with clay, metal, or paper). If you make a mistake in clay, you can fix it easily because the medium is so plastic (forgiving). "
