Sculpture class - first of 10 weeks

And so the classes begin...

Wave beginning

Here we are back in the underground carpark, work benches in place and stone ready to go. 

Very happy to say that three people have returned from the week long session last October as well as new students. 

During the last sessions the work was mostly based on one plane but the anti has been upped and the choices are for sculptures that are more fully rounded. This brought about the realisation of how much stone has to be removed before getting to the  interesting carving. There's going to be a lot of graft next week.
Everyone is working so hard that I have no doubts that these sculptures will be even better than the last ones.

Here's a link to the RIG Arts blog about this week's work.
