Come and get dusty while you create with soapstone (Talc). Talc is the softest stone on the hardness chart with a rating of 1-2. Bring old clothes, a dust mask, safety glasses, wet/dry sandpaper and specific tools for carving. A Dremel with bits, hand files and rasps, a short dollar store handsaw. If you have a collapsible table and chair and extension cord, this will help as well.
Mr. Reimer highly recommends that students work on carving a bar of soap (Ivory soap bars are the best), with a butter knife at home before this class and please bring your soap carvings with you to share in class.
This course covers many aspects of Arts Education and Applied Design, Skills, and Technologies (ADST – ideating, making, sharing).
Cost: $30 to $60 depending on stone choice per student. The stone is mostly Brazilian with a few peices of B.C. soapstone. I have two pieces of alabaster, white and pink which are more expensive. We can figure this out when you arrive.
