In this class, students will use several colors of alabaster to carve small and medium-sized sculptures as well as amulets, beads, and pendants. Students will initially use rasps and files to shape the stone and a variety of sandpaper grits, from very coarse to very fine, to polish the finished work. Beads and amulets can be hung from a variety of attractive cords; sculptures can be mounted on a wood or stone base. All of these make beautiful keepsakes for the student as well as welcome gifts for friends. Carving can be strenuous, but it is well worth the effort!
