Intro workshop to carving in Soap Stone. The workshop offers some theory of sculpture and an examination of different sculpting techniques. You will learn what to look for when you're sculpting, how to deal with the stone and how to get started. As a group we will also discuss the completion of the image. We will start slowly, using a combination of rasp, files, handsaw and sandpaper. You will be taught to develop a feel for the stone and how to use each tool. Understand how each tool bites into the stone. Don’t worry about how your first piece looks. Just enjoy learning how to shape the stone. The objective of the workshop is to complete your own stone sculpture from concept to final presentation in an easy step by step process! We limit class size to six Max participants so that each student will benefit from a great deal of personal attention. As soon as you select the date convenient for you, please let us know because the classes fill up quickly.
