Relief carving can be described as "carving pictures in stone". The process of relief carving involves removing material from a flat stone panel in such a way that an object appears to rise out of the stone. Relief carving also overcomes the logistical challenges that normally accompany traditional 3D work. We will explore both the traditional method as well as laminating your carving onto a background stone. The laminating process allows you to “paint with stone.
Particulars: Participants should bring a Dremel (with a flexible shaft is ideal) and a set of diamond burrs (Available on e-bay) and an idea (sketch or photograph) they wish to explore.
Curriculum
Monday morning. – Discuss various types of reliefs (high to low). Talk about classical (1 piece) verses laminate. Stone selection – start with a beautiful stone and you are halfway there.

Tuesday – Free Carve – Demonstrate profile roughing for laminate and material removal for classical.
Wednesday– Free carve roughing.
