Have a go at producing a simple stone sculpture and develop a good understanding of all processes involved. You first model your idea in clay and then learn how to transfer it to stone by marking up a block. The tutor demonstrates the use of appropriate chisels at each stage while you develop and refine the form. Finishes are covered on the last day as you work towards completing your sculpture.
