Join us as Michael shows you the art of soapstone carving.  

Carving a soft mineral known as Steatite otherwise known as soapstone, participants will use water to eliminate dust and various grits of sandpaper to shape and eventually polish the stone to its final result. You will learn some history of carving soapstone, see some examples and then be guided through the process to complete your own piece. 

The participants get a random piece of stone, there is no right or wrong. Your imagination is the only limit to your experience.
