Thank you to Sandy Cline who came in to lead the students through a stone carving class last month!
Each student started out with a roughly cut piece of stone. They have to file, shape, sand, and smooth it to look more like a bear.
The students round the stone by filing down the sharp edges.
The carvings are heated in the oven (shown on the right) so that wax may be melted on to them.
Wax being applied to the hot stone, by Sandy Cline.
Here are the 3 different stages of the carving process. First the rough cut stone, second has the edges rounded and filed and third the carving is waxed.
The students were very happy with the finished product.
