Did Barbara Hepworth use clay?
1 Answer

Yes, Barbara Hepworth did use clay. Although early in her career she favored wood and metal, Hepworth expanded her preferred materials in the 1950s, beginning to use not only clay but also bronze to create her sculptures. However, Hepworth famously did not use clay to produce models for her sculptures, preferring to work directly with her materials. On 1stDibs, explore a diverse assortment of Barbara Hepworth art.
