Pearl Paint on Canal Street has a section on clay, modeling, and a large
assortment of clay/plaster/sculpting tools, and all the airbrushes made
in the world are available for testing.
The Art Store on Bond Street carries a basic selection of clay tools,
plasteline and armatures; and a huge selection of notebooks, journals
and other studio and art supplies: all at significant discount prices.
For a really interesting flash back to the 16th century: Kremer
Pigments at 228 Elizabeth Street carries small bags and containers of
raw pigments. It's a beautiful and charming little shop. Some of the
raw materials are the central ingredients in ceramic stains, and they
have a catalog of materials that can be used in glazes. They also have
a few books on glaze formulation. (www.kremer-pigmente.com).
Hacker Art Books (now merged with Strand Books) on West 57th Street has
the largest collection of Ceramics, Pottery, and Technique books in NYC.
I found a copy of the Victoria & Albert Reproduction Folio of
Picolopasso's "The Three Books of the Potters Art" from the 14th
century. Also: it's right across the street from the Garth Clark
Gallery...always an inspiring visit.
Enjoy.
