Drop-In Family Friendly Soapstone Carving Workshops!

Drop-In Family Friendly Soapstone Carving Workshops!

Join Route 22 Gallery for a family friendly, 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.

Dates: Wednesdays, starting July 1st until the end of summer!

Time: 4:00 PM – 5:30 PM

Location: Route 22 Artist Collective Gallery, Cochrane AB

Ages: 8-15

Price: $50 (+ GST | Fees)
