This workshop introduces the Italian machinetta, or pointing machine, and methods for transferring measurements from a model to stone. In this workshop, you will learn how to set up the tool and practice the correct method for each phase of the stone carving process. This includes roughing out the stone and accurately transferring the final points from the model at a one-to-one ratio. Students will create a life-sized high-relief sculpture of a head from the nose to the ear.
