"Butter is fairly easy to work with but you must maintain a cool enough temperature in your work space to be successful - 13 degrees is essential."

"It works like clay at that temperature."

"I find that larger sculptures work better than smaller ones since it is such a soft material."

[link]

"I use clay modeling tools that I make from wood to model the butter."

Jim can spend up to a month on some of the more complex designs, but most of them take him no more than 10 days.



"It depends on the size and complexity of the job."

Athukorale uses a tiny scalpels and pastry margarine, rather than butter, because it doesn't melt so easily at much higher temperatures.

"I do the sculptures in pastry margarine, not butter. It's a bit harder. You need to keep them covered sometimes, to protect them from dust, but they are OK."

"I can easily spend up to 15 hours at a time working on a sculpture."

"If you breathe, it moves your hand. You can't do that. So I lean in, take a deep breath, hold it, do what I need to do and then lean back and breathe out."

He also has to break regularly from his work and wash his hands in ice cold water.

"Otherwise, if my fingers are too hot, it's not good for the sculpture."

Once finished, the sculptures can stand on display for years.
