Stone sculpting with Norbert Jäger

Meezen, Germany

Summary

This 6-day workshop focuses on the direct examination of the material stone (alabaster or marble). Under the guidance of the internationally active sculptor Norbert Jäger, we will develop free forms - organic, geometric or figurative. We work without a fixed template, whereby the creative process itself becomes a source of inspiration and often produces surprising results. After an introduction to materials and tools, Norbert Jäger teaches basic techniques for working stone: from rough carving to fine polishing. This results in individual sculptures with a clear form and their own expressiveness. The workshop is suitable for both beginners and advanced students. Tools will be provided. The material (marble or alabaster) is paid directly to the artist depending on the weight.

What you can expect:
- Introduction to artistic work with stone
- Designing free or figurative forms
- Techniques from rough removal to polishing
- Individual guidance from Norbert Jäger
- Working with alabaster or marble
