Limestone Carving Workshop at the Rare Trades Centre

In this full-day introductory workshop, you will learn the basics of soft limestone sculpting with sculptor Kim Bellette.

South Eastern Limestone is a material that can be easily shaped and cut with a mallet and chisel and simple woodworking tools. You will learn the strengths and weaknesses of the material, and how to conceptualise and execute a design that will bring out the unique features of the stone.

At the end of the day, you will have created a personal piece of art to take home with you.

Held at Ballarat's Australian Centre for Rare Arts and Forgotten Trades, a world-class facility dedicated to learning and preserving Australia’s rare arts and trades through a series of workshops, masterclasses, events, and residencies.
