STONECARVING AND SCULPTURE
The aim of this course is to introduce a valuable skill in a short time and to enable students to create something from stone, opening their eyes to the creative possibilities of stone carving. Students learn simple masonry and carving exercises: roughing
out, carving, refining and perfecting the use of mallets (hammers),
chisels and rifflers.
