As a sculptor, you understand the importance of a strong foundation for your clay modeling project. Without a sturdy interior armature, your masterpiece can collapse under the weight of moist clay, Plastilina, or other sculpting materials. That's why professional sculptors trust Sculpture House's figure wire armature to provide the support their creations need. This robust yet pliable armature is designed to hold its shape, even when working with heavy or large scale projects.

What sets Sculpture House's armature apart is its fully adjustable design, allowing you to position the wire framework to accommodate standing, kneeling, or sitting poses. The 8" base is crafted from durable melamine, and the backiron is made from sturdy steel, ensuring your sculpture remains stable and secure. As an added benefit, the armature is hand-made in the U.S.A., guaranteeing a level of quality and craftsmanship that's unmatched in the industry.

The armature itself is crafted from non-staining, pliable almaloy (aluminum) wire, which is gentle on your sculpting materials and easy to manipulate. The adjustable steel backiron is available in three sizes - 12, 15, and 24 - giving you the flexibility to work on projects of varying scales. The entire structure is securely attached to a base of waterproof, laminated hardwood, providing a sturdy foundation for your art.

When working with moist clay or ceramic materials, it's essential to note that the armature cannot be exposed to high temperatures, such as those experienced during kiln firing. This can cause the clay to shrink while the wire remains rigid, resulting in cracking or breakage. Instead, consider using a wet and twisted newspaper armature, which will burn away during firing, or a wax armature, which will melt, allowing your sculpture to retain its integrity.

With Sculpture House's figure wire armature, you can focus on bringing your creative vision to life, confident that your sculpture will remain stable and secure. Whether you're a seasoned pro or an emerging artist, this high-quality armature is an essential tool for any sculptor's toolkit.

By choosing Sculpture House's figure wire armature, you're investing in a premium product that will support your artistic endeavors for years to come. With its unparalleled quality, adjustability, and durability, this armature is the perfect choice for sculptors who demand the best. Whether you're working on a small, intricate piece or a large, complex project, Sculpture House's figure wire armature has got you covered.
