Visite their website: http://saxstonecarving.com/workshop.html#session1In this workshop, students will learn carving techniques from guild certified master carver, Joseph Kincannon. This class is suitable for all levels of experience, and is limited to 18 participants, such that the student:staff ratio is five to one or better. Southwest Stoneworks is a working stonecarving business, and as such gives students a window into how to set up their own studios.
In this first workshop of our 17th season, students will learn and practice the time-honored techniques and traditions passed down from master to apprentice for hundreds of years. Joseph Kincannon is a product of that lineage, having spent five years as an apprentice carver at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, and then serving as the lead stonecarver there for an additional six years. Joseph and his wife, Holly, now live in Austin, Texas, where they own Kincannon Studios, specializing in architectural and sculptural stonecarving. Joseph brings more than thirty years of carving experience to the workshop. He has been our Guest Instructor many times over the past 17 years and with good reason: his ability to convey information; his uncanny talent for making stone move like flowing water; his sense of humor, personal humility, and dedication to the art and craft of stonecarving; and a uniquely generous spirit.
The workshop is structured around five main activities: carving, demonstrations, video presentations, and individual instruction. The fifth component, which any returning student will be quick to mention, is the hearty lunches we serve every day. Our students and staff get to know each other well through a week of sharing these homemade daily lunches.
The scope of the workshop includes:
Basic geology of carving stone, tool selection and care, basic design considerations, basic layout (measuring) systems, roughing out, texturing, polishing, drilling, pinning, power tool use and safety (grinders, chainsaws, drills, pneumatic carving tools), lettering, rigging, and gold-leafing. -
