How the sculpting experience will take place.
Arrive at the sculpture workshop with your own vehicle, where you’ll be welcomed by the owner, who will show you around his studio and explain the techniques used to carve marble.
You’ll then be provided with a marble tile, safety goggles, gloves, a hammer, and a chisel.
Create a design on the marble—an animal, the initial of your name, or a fantasy figure. Then the sculptor will demonstrate the correct use of the hammer and chisel to begin removing the marble around your drawing.
Smooth your marble work with emery and sandpaper, then sign it and take it home with you!
