Biggrin Foil Modelling

Aluminium Foil Modelling uses force to create shape.

A fantastic example & 'how to' has just been added by Alan to BusinessBalls.com ~ Aluminium Horse modelling

Embossed rubbings with foil are great for realising finger pressure, position and depth and also for showing an awareness of how a materials properties act when under pressure ~ this model demonstrates just how much fun baking foil sculpture can be for all ages




Brilliant
