Virtual Stone Carving Apprenticeship VSCA Video 193 Life Size Angel Pointing 1:1 Model onto Job 7

Sculptor AC Button II of http://carolinasculpturestudio.com/ offers a Virtual Stone Carving Apprenticeship to aspiring stone carvers and sculptors. The goal of the VSCA video series is to preserve heritage while preparing individuals for greater achievement in related three-dimensional work across media. Additional videos on the Carolina Sculpture Studio channel present valuable information about specific projects, tools, methodology and history to complement the VSCA video series. Studying those videos in their entirety as part of this internship is recommended.

In VSCA Video 193, Button continues the process of direct carving to marry the indexed 1:1 scale model upper portion to the lower portions that were enlarged from 2/3 scale full length model.

He also discusses learning more about old tools and methods, which changes his perspective about how they were used. This video    • WATCH Stone Masons Create a Millstone by H...   shows the two Master Finishers producing a millstone without power tools. For final surfacing, they swing hand axes or bush axes. This contradicts what Button was taught during his apprenticeship. Their approach to paneling the faces of the millstone are similar but different than his training. Both are welcomed lessons in traditional stonework.

For better understanding of the entire process, study these earlier VSCA Pointing Machine and Compass & Triangle videos:

It is strongly recommended that individuals watch & study all VSCA videos in order and in their entirety before considering In-Studio instruction. In-Studio instruction under Button is an excellent option for those who chose to pursue and afford it. If studied and practiced, the lessons offered via the Virtual Stone Carving Apprenticeship series will help streamline such In-Studio instruction to make it as time-efficient and cost-effective as possible for both Sculptor and Student/Apprentice. Both individual and group sessions are available and will be tailored to meet specific needs.
