Event details
Drop-In Adults Soapstone Carving Workshops!
Join Route 22 Gallery for an adults-only, hands-on soapstone carving workshop! Learn the fundamentals of shaping stone and creating a finished sculptural piece with artist and Soapstone master Michael Emery.
In this guided, beginner-friendly introduction to soapstone carving, participants will learn basic carving techniques, safe material handling, and simple hand-sanding methods using water to reduce dust.
With the ability to choose from a small set of pre-selected shapes and designs, participants will be able to create a finished sculptural piece.
The emphasis is on process, experimentation, and creative confidence rather than artistic perfection.
No prior experience is required, and each participant will leave with a completed stone carving they created themselves.
