Jack Johnston Art Supplies

If you’re looking for unique supplies for you characters, check out Jack Johnston, he is a fantastic art doll sculpture who also sells sculpting supplies like sculpting tools, DVD’s on the art of sculpting and his own brand of clay called ProSculpt. I [PeoriaRick] use ProSculpt from time to time as an alternative to Sculpey. Sculpey can look a little too pink but ProSculpt has a more natural flesh tone to it. Jack Johnston even offers classes in sculpting as well.
