Stone sculpting

This is a workshop on Process-orientated sculpting in (soft) stone. 

Sculptural forms are created using hammers, chisels, files, rasps, pneumatic hammers and angle grinders.

The realisation takes place intuitively or in planned forms. You will develop your spatial imagination in the process.
Thanks to the relatively soft materials, you will make rapid progress: We experience rough shaping and deep cuts through to fine structures for the form and completion of the work.
You will learn to find solutions for different ideas that we will try out while working.
Be prepared for some muscle-building & sweat-production!
