Alabaster Carving with Carol Crawford

As part of our Young Collectors Initiative and in conjunction with the Tom Bass Sculpture Studio, we’re excited to offer a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of alabaster carving and learn from gallery artist Carol Crawford.

Carol is a specialist alabaster sculptor who interprets the raw stone to create soft, interlocking organic forms. Carol will be assisted by artist Elena Murgia, who is a specialist stone carver.  For this weekend course Carol and Elena will guide you on the use of different hand tools, finishing/ polishing techniques, and how to realise a beautiful soft abstracted form out of the rough stone you have chosen.

Alabaster is a very fine, stable, sometimes translucent stone that can be easily carved. For this workshop you will be working with beautiful white alabaster (translucent and opaque) shipped all the way from Italy.

This is a workshop not to be missed! Places are strictly limited and early bookings are encouraged for this popular course.
