NEW YEAR STONE CARVING COURSE 2020

The Two Day Stone Letter Carving and Relief Course with Simon Burns-Cox at The Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop is designed for complete beginners or for those who have participated on The Two Day Introductory Course and want to continue or for those who have some basic experience in stone.  Maximum of five participants and open to all levels.  If you cannot attend the course, individual tuition is available throughout the year at a mutually convenient time.

 

 

COURSE CONTENT

At the beginning of the session, there will be a discussion and review about the tools and how to use them correctly. The student will be reminded about the importance of the V cut and different ways to cut stone. There will be a discussion about what students would like to carve. Realistically, one or two words are achievable in two days if you have some experience. Some people prefer to carve a relief and others may do both. Before the carving process begins, there will also be a discussion about style, proportion, spacing and form and the importance of drawing before preparation. We will look at how to transfer your design from your sketches on paper to the stone. Students will then begin to draw their design in preparation for carving. Students will work on their project with personalised tuition and guidance from Simon throughout the day.
