  11-01-2021 20:07 via artnews.com
  
  In addition to being a fastener for garments, buttons are among the most versatile crafting materials you could keep in your child’s supply box. They can be attached to cards, collaged to form entire pictures, strung together to make jewelry, and much, much more. Because button art relies on more than the basic function of a button, you’ll need an assortment that is visually pleasing. Buttons should also be well-made to hold up to the vigorous creative flourishes of young artists.

• The Best Sgraffito Tools for Experimentations in Sculpture

  11-01-2021 19:53 via artnews.com
  
  In Italian, “sgraffito” translates as “to scratch.” Ceramicists and sculptors use sgraffito tools to create intriguing effects by scratching through different colorful layers of material, such as clays, slips, glazes, and plaster, to reveal a lower layer. The contrast within the layers is striking. Ceramicists scratch through slips and glazes on leather-hard clay. Sgraffito tools are also used to incise layers of plaster for decorative stucco walls and fresco paintings. R

When grouped together with the inkstone, inkstick, and xuan paper, these implements form what’s called the “Four Treasures of the Study,” a name used to denote the tools necessary to create ink works. The brush is the oldest member of the “Four Treasures” grouping, and the oldest brush-painted artifacts are painted bones that date ba

  Get loopy. A necessary tool for refining, etching, and marking your pieces, a loop tool is used mostly to remove controlled amounts of clay from wheel-thrown and hand-built ceramic pieces. The looped cutting head is usually made from steel and has sharpened edges to give you a clean cut, and loop tools can either be single or double ended. They are available in many different sizes; you’ll want to choose a mini tool for smaller-scale projects or a larger utensil for big pieces. With so man

• Michael Craig-Martin on How Painter Al Held Changed His Career: ‘He Was a Maverick’

  11-01-2021 19:01 via artnews.com
  
  I was in London during the summer of 1963, the year before starting my M.F.A. course in Fine Art at Yale. Culturally everything American was admired, envied, desired, nowhere more so than in Britain. Music, cloths, movies, food, lifestyle—and art. The youthful President Kennedy was seen to embody American energy, innovation, optimism and promise. No one imagined he would be assassinated a few months later and America would never be the same again.

• Artists and Designers Use the Best Scissors for Silk for Experimentations in Fabric

  11-01-2021 18:33 via artnews.com
  
  Silk is by nature quite slippery, making it hard to handle, keep flat and straight, and match one piece to another. What’s more, it frays more easily than many other materials, rendering it difficult to handle with precision. As such, there are very specific scissors that are needed (or, at least, helpful), when working with the luxe material: the sharper, the better, but the size, length, and grip all hold different powers when it comes to choosing the best scissors for your work.

  Flocked fibers, which can range from polyester to cotton to viscose, are extremely versatile materials. Made through the process of flocking, which uses electrostatic to apply small fibers onto an adhesive-coated surface, thus creating an even and flexible coat, these fabrics carry a velveteen-like texture. The results can be used for myriad decorative purposes without the need for an additional adhesive. One convenient way to purchase flocks is in rolled form, which helps to prevent the materia
