Stone Sculpture
| Carving Process
No one technique or method is suitable for all carving. Every
block of stone or marble demands a slightly different approach
to the next piece because of it's own unique nature. Depicted
below is the method I chose to carve the Giant.
This project was begun in late October 1998 and was completed
by April 1999. The sculpture is now owned by The
Ritz Hotel London. |
|
1. The block of stone is broken down in to main
planes or areas, following form of the desired shape.
|
2. Surface is drilled to various desired depths
and unwanted material removed.
|
|
3. Main forms are rounded, following the movement
of the curve through chest.
|
4. Definition of hair and facial features
begins.
|
|
5. Tool marks are removed with flat chisels.
|
7. Hair and muscular definition are further
improved.
|
|
8. Finally, all surfaces are meticulously
finished.
