Sculptural Stone Carving Retreat with Bethany Lee

Event Description

Saturday, June 13th, 10AM-5PM – Sunday, June 14th, 12PM-5PM
$425 (all supplies included) BYOL (bring your own lunch)
Deadline to sign up is 6/6.

Come enjoy a weekend learning to sculpt an animal using soapstone. Students who have already taken Bethany’s introductory class are invited to participate in this weekend workshop. You may choose to make a fish, snail, horse head, turtle or cat. If you have a different animal in mind, this may be possible by checking with the instructor first. 

You will start with a soapstone block that is pre-shaped by Bethany in advance to match the basic outline of your animal. This helps save time and effort while still giving you plenty of freedom to shape and personalize your own sculpture.

Each student will leave with a sculpture that clearly represents an animal, with some areas fully finished. Students will also gain the skills and knowledge needed to continue and complete the piece on their own.
