Manikandan Kanchana Sculptures

Which clay do I use for sculpting?

I learnt sculpting by using Fevicryl Mould It epoxy clay. Then I started discovering many types of clay like air dry clay, non-drying clay, and natural earthenware clay.

Which clay do you recommend for sculpting?

I would definitely suggest investing in non-drying clay, from beginner to professional level sculptors. It's flexible and never dries, so you can do corrections easily.

Do you teach sculpting?

I don't. As I am a self-taught artist, I believe I have many levels to learn before becoming a teacher. Just because I am good at something doesn't mean I can teach it.

Do you sell your sculptures?

Yes, I do. I have been preparing this website and my bronze sculptures to open a shop.

Are you a full-time sculptor?

Yes.

Where do you live?

Currently in Chennai.

Do you sculpt human subjects?

No, I don't. I want to specialize my craft on animal subjects.

Do you take commission works?

I don't take commission works for now, or maybe never. I believe I can't bring other visions alive through my vision. I can only bring my own vision to life.
