Sculptural Pursuit was a quarterly art/literary magazine published by Hammer & Pen Productions, a Denver, Colorado publishing company. [1] The magazine focuses on sculpture, its collectors and enthusiasts, but painting and poetry are also frequently featured.
Sculptural Pursuit was founded in 2002 by Denver-based stone sculptor Nancy DeCamillis after a shoulder injury prevented her from sculpting. Since then, the magazine's distribution and readership grown dramatically. The magazine - along with its two accompanying e-zines, Creative Wisdom and On The Lookout - had readers throughout North America, Europe, and Asia.
Since its inception, Sculptural Pursuit became a resource for practicing sculptors, providing them with advice on the business side of an art career, as well as practical tips and techniques that can be applied to sculpting. It also provides artist profiles and tips that help collectors of sculpture develop their collections. [2] In January 2010 it was announced that the magazine folded. [3]

Butter sculptures are sculptures carved in butter. The works often depict animals, people, buildings and other objects. They are best known as attractions at state fairs in the United States as lifesize cows and people, but can also be found on banquet tables and even small decorative butter pats. Butter carving was an ancient craft in Tibet, Babylon, Roman Britain and elsewhere. The earliest documented butter sculptures date from Europe in 1536, where they were used on banquet tables. The earliest pieces in the modern sense as public art date from ca. 1870s America, created by Caroline Shawk Brooks, a farm woman from Helena, Arkansas. The heyday of butter sculpturing was about 1890-1930, but butter sculptures are still a popular attraction at agricultural fairs, banquet tables and as decorative butter patties.
