Stone Carving 101



Recently I took part in a stone carving workshop sponsored by the Sculptors Guild of Governor's Island. It was an amazing experience - so much fun and sooooo messy. Just my thing! The tools we used to carve the Indiana Limestone were so basic - A big heavy hammer and a few chisels. The end result is a lumpy 50lb acorn that originally was going to be a peach (don't ask).

An added bonus was bumping into my dear friend Robert and meeting some new ones.
