Carving stone evokes a relationship of exposing secrets and accepting boundaries. Stone surrenders to the touch when honoring its strengths. The self-surrenders to the vision when attachments are released. Using hand tools, our goal will be to shape, refine, sand, and polish an alabaster stone which is relatively soft. Face your apprehensions and release your creativity.
