The Portrait in Stone: A Five-Day Intensive Stone Carving Workshop @ TCS


  • The Compleat Sculptor 110 West 19th Street New York, NY, 10011 United States (map)

The Portrait in Stone

This 5-day intensive workshop will focus on portrait sculpture in limestone (or alabaster). Demo pieces of a basic head in five stages of finish will be available for reference in the studio, as well as one-on-one guidance on technique and anatomy throughout the process. Please arrive with photo reference, sketches, or a maquette of the concept for your piece - especially if you're creating a portrait of a specific person.

Days 1-2: Air hammer block-in

Days 3-5: Hand tools (hammer & chisels, rasps) 

Participants will end this workshop with a finished or ready-to-be-finished piece. Some stone carving experience is recommended.
