Spirit of Stone Workshop

This year I will  be offering a soapstone workshop in beautiful Oregon. New and experienced sculptors alike will find an opportunity to considerably heighten their skill level and insight. No previous experience is necessary. 

This is a 20 studio-hour workshop. It will be familiar for those who have carved with me before. I have found there is a large learning curve in the first couple of stone sculptures we create. Expanding into this classic 3D art form and experiencing the whole carving process always encourages confidence and creativity. It is so exciting to see this steep learning curve in action. We will start with approximately a five-pound piece of raw soap stone. We will learn stone sculpting skills and techniques to include the carving process from beginning to end. We will be using hand tools with the option of limited Dremel use.  This workshop is intended to produce a uniquely finished, individually-designed, and personal soap stone sculpture. Enjoy a meditative intensive creative opportunity in a supportive learning community.
