Carve Soapstone in Middlebridge!

Soapstone is among the easiest of stones to carve and offers the satisfying challenge of working in the round. Beginners get grounding in reductive sculpture techniques, yet the beauty of the stone and the finishes that can be achieved appeal to more advanced students as well. Expect to see wonderful, flowing forms emerge while building skills with saws, files, rasps and chisels. Students should come prepared with sketches and printed photographs of a compact animal form they would like to carve, preferred face masks for dust, and personal goggles. Adults only. I am running the two-afternoon session at my summer shack in Middlebridge, right off Middlebridge Road. It will be at a special rate of $125 with a $25 materials fee. Because of space, I can only take 4-6 people for this workshop. We will have it in the yard, rain or shine- under tents, bring your lunch if you want, I will have cold drinks at the ready! And the beach at Narragansett is a mile away...for later! If you are interested, please reply to [email protected] before June 10. I accept checks, Venmo or credit cards; just ask if you need to do something else.
