How does the heavy become light? How does the hard become soft? How do I find my form? The sculpting workshop offers an eventful time that allows you to encounter yourself, the stone and the others in the group.
The stone as a counterpart demands your full attention:
- It gives you time to develop your own vision and offers you the space to let your ideas become visible.
- Working with the stone shows you how to deal with coincidences and "failures" and teaches you to see resistance as a challenge, e.g. the harder the material, the less force you put against the stone."
- The stone challenges you to explore your own (working) attitude towards yourself and the material.
- Together with the stone, you can explore creative and personal processes and transfer them to your life and work.
These exciting experiences are encouraged while working on your own sculpture and through discussions in the group. The experienced stone sculptor and seminar leader Birgit Cauer will accompany you on your expedition around stone and being in the form of instructions, dialogs and suggestions. This also includes technique, design, working posture, tools and materials.
