Q&A for How to Make a Sculpture

Absolutely. Art is self-expression, so you aren't limited to standard sculpture materials. You can use whatever you want--the more original, the better.

Yes; however, you'll probably want to instead use the guidelines in Create Papier Mâché .

It depends on how big the sculpture is going to be. If very small, consider using polymer clay. If you would rather paint it or make a larger sculpture, try using air-dry clay.

Use building plaster, preferably strong house plaster. Avoid cheap DIY plaster.

You can use wood, clay, metal, wire, or just about anything you want. I would recommend wood.

Use air dry clay for a big sculpture. You would also use air dry clay if you want to paint it.
