We offer classes for beginners, intermediate, and advanced sculptors. Individual Zoom meetings prior to the class will set clear expectations, review safety protocols, and discuss the aims and goals of the project.
We work with students to determine if they have an idea of what they want to carve or need advice and steer them onto projects that are compatible with their skill set, physical health, and work experience.
A complete set of hand tools can be rented or purchased, or students may bring their own. Beginners will be taught traditional hand-carving techniques only, no power tools will be used in beginner classes. Safety gear will be provided, along with a basic block of local carving stone. Additional stone of larger or superior quality may be purchased as necessary. Intermediate sculptors may have some power tool training. Advanced sculptors will have access to a complete set of professional power tools.
Our hands-on teaching philosophy emphasizes direct engagement. This is a goal-oriented class focused on project completion; a finished sculpture the student can take home and be proud of. Students will learn the fundamentals of traditional sculpting techniques, safety protocols, and hopefully develop confidence and a passion to continue on their sculpting journey.
Students and artists will be encouraged to maintain a relationship with course instructors who will offer advice and support throughout their sculptural journey.
With intentionally small class sizes, students receive personalized instruction, hands-on training, and full access to our world-class carving facilities. Here, centuries of stone-carving tradition meet contemporary innovation, creating an environment where passion is transformed into craft, and craft into art.
