Stone & Wood Sculpture / Schedule 2007

This course is designed to teach each student how to work directly in stone or wood. We will cover direct carving techniques using chisel and hammer as well as pneumatic tools. This subtractive process shows students how to block out their image from a solid mass and unify the image with contour and form. Finishing techniques, polishing and mounting will also be covered. The creative direction is up to the individual, figurative, non-figurative, organic forms, hardedge or geometric. Students are encouraged to come to class prepared with an idea of what they would like to accomplish in this workshop. Beginners through advanced students are welcome.
