Synopsis
A delightful introduction to a new and absorbing art form, this handbook, which will be welcomed by carvers and sculptors, describes a method which can also be successfully practised by the amateur. All the materials are readily available in their natural state. A file and a plastic knife are the only tools necessary to achieve exciting results from such soft stones as alabaster, soapstone and chalk. Of special interest to the craftsman is the firing of soapstone, a method which makes the stone easily workable into a wide range of objects, including seals, stamps and casts for jewellery. Many illustrations throughout the book.
