Learn basic sculpting techniques by carving in soapstone—a beautiful, soft stone that is ideal for your first stone sculpture. You will sketch an idea in three dimensions to picture what it will look like; then sculpt, sand and finish the artwork. You’ll use tools such as knives, rasps and saws; and then finish and polish your work. Soapstone finishes beautifully!
This is a great way to start thinking in three dimensions.
Face masks are recommended inside the gallery.
