Figure Armature -1/2 life size36 " - incls Backiron and board

This strong yet pliable 36" armature is the largest of our figure armatures. A must have if you are sculpting with Plastilina, moist clay or other material that cannot support its own bulk. Think of this as the skeleton or framework upon which you lay your clay for modeling.

Designed by Sculpture House, this armature is made from non-staining, pliable aluminum wire and has a fixed steel backiron on a base of formica over heavy gauge plywood. It is made to be proportionally correct.

If using moist (ceramic/pottery) clay, please note, the armature cannot be put in a kiln during firing. The clay will shrink but the wire will not, resulting in cracking and/or breakage. We suggest using a wet and twisted newspaper armature as the paper will burn off during firing; or a wax armature as the wax will melt during firing.
