This is a 20-studio hour stone sculpting workshop that is intended to produce finished, individually designed, soap stone sculptures.
No previous experience is necessary. New and experienced sculptors will find an opportunity to considerably heighten their skill level and insight.
• Expand into a classic 3D art form
• Experience the Spirit of Stone as a creative partner
• Inspire other creative venues (great for working through "writer's block")
• Meditative, intentional creative experience
• Create a stone sculpture reference to hold your intention
• Enjoy a supportive learning community
This schedule yields our ideal 20 hours of studio time, plus time in nature, to enjoy our deepened connection with the spirit of stone!
