Loop tools
Their metal loop removes material, hollows out forms and refines surfaces. They are especially useful for clay and modelling.
Gouges, loop tools, modelling tools and finishing instruments for removing, carving, shaping and refining material.
For working with wood, clay and modelling materials: building volume, removing material, refining a surface or working on fine detail. Each tool is presented according to its shape, handling and intended use.
Choosing sculpture tools
Loop tools, modelling tools and gouges do not perform the same task. Some shapes move or smooth clay, while others remove material, carve an area or refine detail in wood or an existing volume.
Their metal loop removes material, hollows out forms and refines surfaces. They are especially useful for clay and modelling.
Their solid ends push, smooth and move material. They are used to build volume, adjust shapes and work on joins.
Their cutting edge removes wood gradually. Gouge width and curvature determine how much material is removed and the shape created.
For beginners: one loop tool, one modelling tool and one finishing tool already cover the main stages of clay modelling. For wood carving, begin with a small number of gouges and learn the purpose of each profile.
