Contour clay can be hand sculpted or tooled and applied to armatures of any size from tiny miniatures to giant monuments and memorials.
Contour clays also scale up beautifully without sacrificing crisp edges or quality. The warm gray color helps facilitate viewing profile lines and surface textures when sculpting. Ultra-Fine detailing is most effective with room temperature clay (72°F/23°C).
Due to its higher temperature resistance, the Contour Series will resist deformation when working in warmer studio environments for year-round sculpting projects. When softened this clay series has a buttery smooth consistency similar to sulfur-clays, but remains silicone friendly for moldmaking. Warmed Contour clay is easily spread or troweled onto carved EPS foam and mixed material armatures for use as a shapeable coating.
