So how is a certain texture achieved on a sculpture?   How are those cuts, grooves, smoothness made?  Sculpting tools of course.  Some are dental tools, some are specifically made tools I buy from the sculpture supply store... yes, I'm being serious.  Which is used depends on what your creating.  Although fingers, thumbs and elbow grease are important, these essential elements assist in making a clay original read for casting into bronze.
