Stone Sculpting (Beginning & Intermediate)


Beginning Stone Sculpting:

Learn the ancient three-dimensional reductive art form of carving stone. Over the course of four separate two-hour sessions, the student will take a rough chunk of soapstone and turn it into a beautiful finished piece. All materials (including stone), tools and safety equipment will be provided.

Ages:     Teen to Adult
Dates:     Three Saturdays, March 14, 21, & 28, 2020
Hours:     9:30am - 12:30pm
Location:     The Lyceum
Instructor:     Glenn McGovern
Class size:     Limited to 9 students
Fee:     $95 (includes soapstone)

Intermediate Stone Sculpting:

For those that have completed the Introduction course, or have previous experience with carving stone, we will be offering three spots for those interested in using chisels and dummy mallets on alabaster.  Being a harder stone (and a larger size than used in the intro class) and a more complicated technique, it will require some work away from the class in order to complete a piece over the three Saturday sessions.  Class runs concurrently with Beginning Stone Sculpting
