Mastering Sculpture: The Figure in Clay: A Guide to Capturing the Human Form for Ceramic Artists (Mastering Ceramics) Review: Excellent resource! Unique insights! Top Figure Sculpting book IMO - A well organized, very well written book, and without a doubt a tool I’ll be referring back to on a regular basis as I try out Cristina’s pattern and slab technique. I’m only a few years into my practice and feel that the techniques in this book are what I’ve been missing to reach that next level of my practice, aiding me in streamlining and building the base forms more quickly and efficiently. The gallery of artists’ work, as well as featured artists and their insights into working with clay and the creative process is a nice touch, and very inspiring. I’ve taken a few of the author’s online classes and she’s a very thorough and excellent teacher, top notch, just like her work, and this excellence is also present in her book. What a gift she is to all of us, and a generous artist, to share with us her gathered wisdom through the decades of her practice. One might wonder if there is something new or unique to learn from purchasing a book on sculpting the figure, other than the basics, especially if you’re past the stage of beginner—I believe this book is one that will not disappoint, no matter what stage of the sculpting journey one is in. Review: Great - It’s a great book to get your feet wet into the sculpting world if you haven’t done it professionally before. Very approachable. ## Images ![Mastering Sculpture: The Figure in Clay: A Guide to Capturing the Human Form for Ceramic Artists (Mastering Ceramics) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81mm78D4VQL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent resource!

Very approachable. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding practical instructional materal, and much of interest in photos and text. *by L***V on January 24, 2024* Outstanding practical instructional materal. For working with water based clay that can be fired - from Getting Started, through materials, tools, parts, assembling, firing. Full of tips, insights, photos, and even templates for a 25" standing figure study project. See her inspiring work on youtube also. Although the book is not aimed at "oil based" modeling clay that can not be fired in a kiln, many of the principles, and the wealth of information, and photos of her work and other artist's work can be applied to sculpting / modling the figure in general. The hard bound book is a high quality binding, photos, lovely book and has plenty of good general sculpting informtion. ## Frequently Bought Together - Mastering Sculpture: The Figure in Clay: A Guide to Capturing the Human Form for Ceramic Artists (Mastering Ceramics) - Ceramic Sculpture: Making Faces: A Guide to Modeling the Head and Face with Clay - Sculpting the Figure in Clay: An Artistic and Technical Journey to Understanding the Creative and Dynamic Forces in Figurative Sculpture --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/354982185-mastering-sculpture-the-figure-in-clay-a-guide-to-capturing](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/354982185-mastering-sculpture-the-figure-in-clay-a-guide-to-capturing) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-09-29*
