sculptress
Woman shaping stone
A sculptress is a female sculptor—a woman who creates three-dimensional art by carving, modeling, or assembling materials.
The term was once standard but has fallen out of favor as English moves away from gendered professional titles.
Most style guides now recommend sculptor for artists of any gender: Camille Claudel was a sculptor of remarkable talent.
