Study the elephant in its natural habitat and in relation to the human race, and explore its representation in art, to stimulate your own personal responses to this theme. You then make small models in clay, soapstone or plasticene, before beginning to carve a whole animal or a detail, in one sculpture or several. Soapstones, polyphant, alabaster and limestones are available and instruction is given on the use of tools and techniques, including finishing and texturing, for the various stones.
