What to do with unfinished art, weapons, etc?

I had someone working on a silver sculpture, but I guess they switched people and one took the sculpture to the stockpile.

I dont know if the person working on it died or something, but I can't get the silver sculpture finished.  It just sits there.  My main art guy won't finish it.

Any ideas?

Click on it and select 'Cancel'. It'll give you your materials back.

I was pretty blown away when I found this out.

Awesome!  Didn't even know you could do this!  Thanks.

It must be the same crafter that started that sculpture, but it is possible to restart/finish an unfinished sculpture.
When this crafter is busy crafting on the second one, you can switch them to the other project. They will place it on the bench and start working on that one, while leaving the second project on the bench too.
Just wait till they have a few work left on the current one, because now comes the time for micro-management.

Select the crafter, right click sculpture (which must be on the workbench) for the popup command and wait for the moment they start hauling off the finished product and click the command. My crafter dropped the finished item and started working on the previous one.

However if the crafter died, then canceling is the only option.
