Popis: The sculptor uses a variety of materials, tools, and processes. He may carve directly in wood or stone. For modeling, he may use such materials as clay, wax or plasticine, plaster, cement, and polyester and epoxy resins. He may reproduce a casting through the use of a sand mold or do shell casting and investment molding. He may weld and braze, using all sorts of scrap metal, or cut, grind, and form metal to desired shapes. Each of these processes presents a potentially hazardous environment depending upon the character, intensity, and duration of exposure.
