Winterstone Sculpting Mix 15kgs

WINTERSTONE is a sculpting medium developed by Sculptor, Lorne P. Winters, for direct modeling of finished sculpture.  It works as easily as clay and sets as hard as stone.

WINTERSTONE is a white, dry powder mix --- a complex multi-component cementitious mixture  --- which when mixed with the necessary water produces a modeling medium of clay-like consistency.  It stiffens and hardens gradually and continuously.

During the initial plastic stage it can be modelled easily with control.  As the material hardens the sculptor can proceed with carving techniques.  By allowing the sculptor to employ modeling and/or carving techniques when working with WINTERSTONE, the full potential of the material can be developed.

The inclusion of proper reinforcing elements into the material wherever stress is expected, produces a structurally efficient composite material that can be shaped into any complexity of form.

WINTERSTONE can be integrally pigmented or externally patinated.

The  hardened  WINTERSTONE surface can be refined with abrasives and polished.

The finished WINTERSTONE sculpture is intrinsically weather-stable and may be founded in an outdoor environment.  With proper care it can be expected to last many years.

These features of WINTERSTONE -- the flexibility of sculpting techniques, adaptability to varied surface textures and finishes, structural versatility, permanence and stability -- make WINTERSTONE an ideal sculptural material.
