Stone Carving Course – September 2016

All set up for everyone to arrive and the group busy with first stages of roughing out their sculptures.

Images from the two days of carving.

A voluptuous fruit with seed carved in sandstone.

A face and carving of flowers in relief, signed on the top by the carver.

Leaves and stems clamber around this stone.

Carving a sitting figure in sandstone.

Letter cutting, both incised and relief and a practice stone for different textures that can be created with the chisel on stone.

And a carving of a mask, finely detailed and sanded to a smooth finish.
