How the marble sculpting class work

You arrive with your own vehicle at the sculpture workshop, and will be greeted by the owner who will show you around his shop explaining the techniques used to sculpting marble.
You will then be provided with a marble tile, protective glasses, gloves, hammer and chisel.
Make a drawing on marble: an animal, the initial of your name, a fantasy figure. The sculptor shows the proper use of hammer and chisel to start removing the marble around your drawing.
Smooth your marble work with emery and sandpaper and finally sign it !!!
