A Tool review from FAA Graduate in Residence featured on The FAA Collective Patreon

Jana Büttner graduated from the Sculpture program in 2020, and was invited to continue for a fourth year as Graduate in Residence. We have featured Jana’s beautiful work in previous posts, and during the past year, filmed her talking about her favorite sculpture tools: some are useful for blocking in large masses, others help her capture the smallest details. We also learned about some interesting customization tips. In this new video, Jana shows us how she makes her own loop tools!

Tools w/ Jana Büttner - Sculpture Tools

More about Jana:

Jana Büttner is a German/Czech sculptress, and currently a graduate in residence at The Florence Academy of Art.

'My goal is to provoke emotions and encourage empathy in the viewer. The viewer should be engaged by the work, so they can identify themselves within it. The three-dimensionality and the space that sculptures occupy can create a natural presence. This has the potential to allow for an emotional connection with the viewer. Figurative works in particular can speak to us precisely because we can recognize ourselves in it. That is why I like to work with live models.'

Her work is represented in private collections in Dubai, Germany, London, Austria, Czech.
