A sculpting tool is a specialized instrument used by artists and craftsmen to shape and refine materials like clay, stone, or wood. These tools come in various forms, including chisels, knives, and modeling tools, each designed for specific tasks. Sculptors use these tools to create detailed textures, smooth surfaces, and intricate designs in their work. Sculpting tools can be made from different materials, such as metal, wood, or plastic, depending on their intended use. For example, clay sculptors often use loop tools and ribbon tools to manipulate soft materials, while stone sculptors may rely on chisels and hammers to carve harder surfaces.
