for more info. click here on link: Stone Sculpting Workshop
Welcome to the beginning of what I hope will be and engaging and educational artistic experience. Founded in 2008, Matzke Fine Art and Design was created as a way to help further the critical discussion and examination of art and culture.
The 2012 Spring Stone Sculpture Hand Tooling Workshop is open to the general public 18 years and older. Basic knowledge of stone sculpture is helpful, but not mandatory. This sculpture workshop is designed to accommodate beginning carvers as well as more experienced sculptors. Instruction and guidance is provided to suit each individual as needed, and/or requested. We will cover history, concepts, processes, techniques, materials, and tools associated with the creation of three dimensional forms in Stone. Although this is a hand-carving workshop, there will be limited power and air available. Neolithic Stone will be our stone and tool vendor, and there will be a few loaner tools available.About Stone Carver Tracy Powell:
Tracy has been working as a professional sculptor and educator for the past thirty years. His stone sculptures are mostly narrative representations of humans and animals. They are meant to illustrate some of the universal themes of the human condition: romance, mythology, and spirituality. For more information about his work, please visit his website: www.stonebard.com
Cost $ 325.00; Includes; workshop, lunches and dinners as well as lodging at Cama Beach Cabins ….

Background:
For eighteen years, I owned History of the World Fine Art Gallery on the south end of Camano Island. I received my MFA from the University of New York at Albany, NY in 1983. In 2008, the doors opened to my new gallery, Matzke Fine Art Gallery. Our mission is to promote, encourage, and serve as an advocate for fine artists and to make contemporary art a relevant part of our cultural experience. I expect that this magical acreage will nurture the careers of many artist and provide a place for others to expand their horizons as well.
