Soft Stone Sculpture is the exciting art
of carving the block while the compound
is still firming.

I mix the ingredients in a large container,
then pack it all into a block mold and
leave it to firm.
This part of the process takes about 4 hours.

When the block has firmed well,
I remove it from
the mold and carefully begin carving.

If I start carving before the block has
firmed enough,
it can easily crumble and break.
If I start carving when the block has
become too firm,
it hardens quickly and is soon difficult to carve.

The larger sculptures shown here, are about
500 mm tall
and take up to 5 hours to carve.

It's an amazing process and a real joy
to be able to create these
wonderful forms and shapes.

I take my inspiration from my garden,
my culture,
and everything around me.
