Students ages 15 and older are welcome.

Artist Max Sexsmith, (shown on left) from Peterborough, Canada, returns this summer to offer a workshop for adults on soapstone carving. Beginning and experienced carvers are welcome! Create a sculpture of a dolphin, loon, Inukshuk, whale tail or your own creation. In two three-hour sessions you transform rough soapstone into a beautiful polished figure by using a variation of files, rasps and chisels.
Basic files provided by the instructor; bring your own tools if you have them.
