Do people still sculpt? Any sculptors here on Lemmy?
Do people still sculpt? Any sculptors here on Lemmy?
I'm confident the answer to the initial question is "yes", but in my little corner of the world I've never met a sculptor - no students, no teachers, no amateurs or professionals - and I don't recall hearing about significant sculptures being erected anywhere in the last few decades.
Sculpting fascinates me, but I'm totally ignorant of how it works. If you’re a sculptor -
- when/how did you start? Do you start with clay and pottery?
- How do you "practice"? Play-doh? Gotta imagine it's different based on your preferred medium?
- do artists still use marble? Seems like it'd be insanely expensive & one mistake screws the whole thing up

Hi, I used to a lot, but lack the financial means to currently.
I started in school, and I loved it so much I had my teacher fail me twice just so I could retake it. My retakes were a mix of TA work and whatever project I felt like doing.
Since then, Ive made a few clay based projects, as well as dabbling in wooden sculpture. I'm currently unhoused, but I imagine it will again be a part of my life once I'm back on my feet.
