Nathan Homestead: Soft Stone Sculpture Workshop
Enjoy creating an amazing sculpture in one day using the easy to learn soft stone method. Work with an experienced tutor and sculpt your own design on composite stone, working as the block hardens. First time students and experienced artists find the texture of the medium very satisfying as ideas can be quickly realised and modified to create an amazing work of art based on your own creative ideas.
Materials are included. Please bring a fruit knife, apron, rubber gloves, sketch paper and pencil and lunch. The workshop runs from 11.00am – 4.00pm.
