Join us for a 2 day workshop covering the basics of stone carving, focusing on carving a female figure in Maltese Limestone.

During the first day, there will be an insight in to the tools and techniques of carving. You will then begin to sketch out your designs so you will end the day with a profile of the figure carved out the stone.

On day two, you will spend the day shaping the figures and sanding them to a smooth finish.

You will leave this class with a smooth, carved female figure in Maltese Limestone and lots of new knowledge about the tools, techniques and process of stone carving.
