A unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of alabaster carving and learn from popular guest teacher Carol Crawford.
Carol is a specialist alabaster sculptor who works predominantly with alabaster and who is known for her soft sensuous forms. Carol will also be assisted by artist Elena Murgia, who specialises in marble carving. For this weekend course Carol and Elena will guide you on the use of different hand tools, and how to realise a beautiful form out of the rough stone you have chosen.
Alabaster is a very fine, stable beautiful stone that can be easily carved, it can be translucent or opaque white, salmon orange, brown or blue or a combination.
For this workshop you will be working with beautiful white alabaster (translucent and opaque) shipped all the way from Italy.
This is a workshop not to be missed! Places are strictly limited and early bookings are encouraged for this popular course.
* Please note that this course will give participants a good foundation to create a unique alabaster sculpture. As each person works at an individual pace, some people may find they need a bit more time to complete their sculpture and this can be done by booking in for some casual workshop classes during term time at TBSSS.
Fees include one piece of stone of up to 2kg, as well as the use of chisels, files and finishing sandpapers during the workshop. Upsizing your piece of stone for the workshop or purchasing additional stone for your own use will also be possible for people attending the workshop.
Earlybird discount TBC.
