Stone Carving is less difficult than you imagine! Discover how the process of stone carving can be a source of inspiration and even meditative. Learn effective techniques of traditional stone carving with hammer and chisels: cutting, shaping filing and polishing. Either follow the tradition of making a small maquette (model in clay sculpture) before you start carving, or explore 'direct carving' by discovering the form within the sculpture. Stone Carving is a remarkable art - from the ancient sculptors who made marble look like flowing drapery or soft as flesh to modern abtract stone carvers who use the small techniques. Take on the challenge and rewards of creating in stone.
