Stone Sculpting
Sculpting course "warm - up"
Neither size nor material determine the beauty of a sculpture – of much more importance are form, composition, and quality of work.
Who desires to create something precious out of soft stone?
Who has only one week in which to do it?
Sculpting for beginners
Stone sculpting has since ancient times been a delightful activity and can be practised by anyone. Many people have an affinity with this kind of art. From matter, a piece of stone or marble, we can – with patience and imagination - create a new form with the simplest of tools.
These courses for beginners are also suitable for advanced students who wish to put their creative ideas into practice, with our professional and individual support.
Basic skills
In order to work effectively with stone it is necessary to have a knowledge of its properties, and to know how to use the available tools and machines correctly. In the basic course you will create a cubic form from a rough stone. This enables you to familiarize yourself with the basic working processes, and you will have opportunities of practising the relevant techniques.

This is an advanced course that should be of interest to anyone wishing to explore the theme "Milestone". It is hoped that, as time goes on, you will develop a style of your own. The study of a given theme opens up new dimensions for us and helps us to find new starting-points.
Sculpting for advanced students I
Theme: "female figures" (translation follows)
Seit tausenden von Jahren wird die Frau dargestellt: in Bildern, Skulpturen, Mythen, Legenden, Märchen und in der Literatur. Die ältesten Figurinen ehren, in Form einer Göttin, Mutter Erde, Fruchtbarkeit, Leben und Tod und die zyklische Erneuerung des Lebens. Die heutigen Bilder ehren meist die Schönheit und die Jugend der Frau.
