Sculpting medium is a material used to create sculptures. Commonly used materials include ICE, CLAY, STONE, and vinyl ester resin (VCE). ICE is a fragile material that can be used to create intricate designs, but it melts quickly. CLAY is a malleable material that can be molded into various shapes and is often used for pottery. STONE is a hard material that requires specialized tools to carve and shape. Vinyl ester resin is a synthetic material that is often used in combination with fiberglass to create sculptures.
