Athar makes it look so easy, but I'm sure it's not. I signed up for a marble carving symposium this summer. I've never sculpted before. I'm interested in ancient Roman style of sculpting. The human figure is too advanced for me, but I am interested in sculptural relief and architectural enrichment like egg-and-dart and acanthus.
@@bosatsu76 So it was a great experience for me. I did not finish my project but I learned quite a lot for a first time project. There were many sculptors there in various stages of ability and also many instructors who were much better than us. I am glad that I went and I have new ideas for future projects. :) Colorado Yule marble seemed really challenging to me. It is a beautiful marble.
During my 15 year career as a teacher, I've seen students of varying levels carving it in between 40 and 80 hours. This in a relatively soft limestone. An expert carver would do it in approximatively 20 hours, in marble.
I'm interested in doing this course but am wondering if I could use granite. It is my native stone. Also I'm in the US, could I still get the castings sent to me here.
I'm sure you could do it in granite, but it's terribly hard. Much harder than marble and I'm not sure if the detailing would be possible. Do you have previous experience in carving? The casts can be definitely shipped, the majority of my online students are in North America.
@AtharJaber I don't have stone carving experience but I do with wood carving. I'm learning granite shaping and splitting with feather and wedges. I realize marble is the stone most commonly studied but it is not my local. I have gniess or granite and seek to study carving my local stone. I know sculpture in granite is a different technique. I am looking for a teacher. I'm building with stone, non mortared walls, etc
Do you think someone with Aphantasia could learn to carve figures and faces and hands and animals well? I am assuming that carvers have a good mind's eye and can 'see' the object inside the stone.
Do modern sculptors only use these tools, or do they sometimes use drills or other power tools? It could save them time without losing artistic quality, which is why I wonder
Well, there's no limit really. It all depends on the available budget. And shipping to Australia should not be a problem. Please send an email to mail@atharjaber.com if you'd like to discuss further details.
@@AtharJaber Hello Athar, Thank you for your reply. I shall email you in future regarding my project it is a large one, but for the moment it is around 6-7 years away.
@@anonymousr1918 this makes me so curious of what this project could be. Your planning something 6-7 years away and are reaching out to a stone sculptor on TH-cam saying “it’s big”. What’s the project?!

Athar, thank you so much for the great information you’ve provided already on stone sculpting. It has helped me significantly!
Jordan, It's my pleasure! Thank you for taking the time to watch!
@@AtharJaber I am going to email you with some questions about this masterclass
@@BaffiCatenaCanotta saw it and replied.
Amazing skills... thanks for sharing... new generation need someone to be example and teacher... watching from Montevideo.
Amazing! Say hi to Montevideo!
I can't wait to get all my tools because I can then take your lettering coarse to start with. You are a master!
Fantastic video. Really gives a feel of the process.
Thanks Fen! I'm a bit confused here, don't remember if I'm a sculptor or a video maker...
@@AtharJaber Haha I know the feeling, the modern times we live in.. Things have become blurred!
I hope to attend lessons with you to learn more about the field of sculpture sculpture
I'll be giving a workshop in my own studio in November. There are still places available. Best is to DM me on my Instagram account.
Trabalho maravilhoso!
Gracias
Can you tell me approximately how many day's it takes to do one of these.
Thanks and Nice Job.

Let alone sculpting, I struggle with drawing even. I have only admiration for sculptors...
A sculpture is that thing you bump into when you’re backing up to get a better look at a painting.
Do you think someone with Aphantasia could learn to carve figures and faces and hands and animals well? I am assuming that carvers have a good mind's eye and can 'see' the object inside the stone.
Do modern sculptors only use these tools, or do they sometimes use drills or other power tools? It could save them time without losing artistic quality, which is why I wonder
Lots of other power tools available and everyone uses them. See my other videos for examples.
What’s the largest commissioned item you can do? Also do you ship to Australia?

Do u have videos for purchase on carving the face?
I offer two online stone carving courses. Check them out on my website: www.atharjaber.com/education/stone-carving-masterclasses/
Grazie
Name of the stone .pls
Marble
I am a sculpture artist
I like to be involved in work
Meanwhile on the History Channel: "Aliens using sound devices!"
We all will be dead soon - and that stone will overlive us many times.
I'd like to buy a set of precision chisels like you use for small scale work like this. Any suggestions there?
I live in uk
Великолепно,а не проще бор машинкой работать

Sir!!Please!! accept me As A Student 🙏
Why does it look horrible?
Because you're not a sculpture. You can't do this art to save your life.
