It has arrived... the last day of the stone carving and I feel a little sad, but so very proud of all the students. Their commitment and hard work has really paid off.
The finishing stages and I get to go around picking out all those wee bits that make all the difference to the piece.
The finishing touches of a project can take almost longer than the main bulk of stone removal but we didn't have the time.
I did a little smoothing off the flat plains for a few people, just to move it along so they could get to the best bits.
Here they are:

| Jim's piece |

| Mike's piece |
 |
| Monica's piece |
 |
| Mary's piece |
 |
Alice's piece

This piece is a two sided sculpture, the owl and the tree are on the same stone.

| Angela's piece |

Another two sided sculpture, Laurel and Hardy.
 |
| Mike's boar |
 |
| Mike's tree of life |
 |
| Rhia's wave form |
 |
| Rhia's clam shell |
The reason all this was possible is because of RIG Arts, and their Broomhill Project, community arts and heritage in Greenock.
Here is a link to their website with the
final stone carving workshop post.
