Description
Students may bring a work in progress or start something new and try working with alabaster, soapstone, or what stones that are available for purchase from the Art Center. This class is for students who would like to learn the basics of taking away material as an introduction to a three dimensional object in the round or a bas relief. The objective of this class is to create your own sculpture and will emphasize creativity. The instructor will discuss what a sculpture is and what makes a good sculpture. There will be explanations of different stones, hardness, durability, and which tools to use. There will also be more insights on how to carve, finish and polish sculptures with new techniques. Students will leave with their own original sculpture, and feel more confident in carving with stone.
