   Carving & Sculpting Soapstone with Karen Brodie @ ARTworks

   Karen Brodie, a second generation stone sculptor, guides and supports you as you explore your artistic side to create truly unique sculpture.

   The Morning Session: Introduction to carving and sculpting a soapstone cormorant (or water bird): Are you ready to reveal your hidden sculpting/carving talents? Learn the basic materials, tools and techniques to create and finish sculpting/carving a cormorant and a base. Every carving is unique- take your cormorant home to impress your family and friends!

   Afternoon Session: So you can't stop admiring your cormorant? You're hooked, you want more! Now what? The afternoon session concentrates on soapstone sculpting/carvings that you will create, further developing sculpting/carving skills and finishing techniques. Work with a larger piece of stone while expanding your knowledge of stones and their properties.

   Not a beginner? Hooked on carving stone? Then concentrate on further expanding and developing your sculpting/carving skills and finishing techniques. Work on the soapstone sculpture where you last left off or begin with another block of soapstone, (to be purchased) while expanding your knowledge of stones and their properties.

   Karen Brodie is a second generation sculptor and artist, her love and passion for art is conveyed through stone. From figurative nudes to mythical creatures, her creativity crosses a wide, eclectic range of genres. She is a Contemporary Realism Sculptor and is considered a direct carver since she does not use models; instead, she prefers to sculpt from her own imagination. Each stone is carefully chosen so her vision compliments the stones personality; she works with the stone, as opposed to forcing the stone to work for her.

   Register with ARTworks, 843-379-2787, $115/person (beginners), $90/person (continuing). Tools, sandpaper, polishing paper and finishing supplies included to finish your cormorant, base and the next sculpture you will create are provided by Karen Brodie.
