Modelling tools – for clay, paperclay and plaster, wax and plasticine
.Modelling tools made of wood, metal and rubber can be used to model plastic materials such as clay, wax, plastiline or plaster. Modelling tools such as modellierschlingen, modelliereisen und Spachtel or modellierhölzer fulfil many different requirements: For example, you can use them to cut, smooth, model, scrape, design surface textures, apply and remove material, spatula and portion, and especially to tap clay and grate plaster.
There are specific modelling tools for every working material and task at bildhau. However, most tools can be used universally. When choosing the right modelling tool, it is – helpful to consider, regardless of whether you are an experienced modeller or a novice: What material do I primarily want to work with? How big do I want my sculpture or model to be? Do I work very detailed or rather roughly? Is it important that my tools are rustproof? Do I work rather little with the tools or very much? For example, do I only need individual modelling woods or is it worthwhile for me to have a multi-part modelling tool set?
Here we briefly introduce some tool groups. More detailed information, also on individual tools, can be found on the following pages.
