Marble carving pointed traditionally from a classical plaster model.

Not for sale

Whilst I was studying sculpture at The Florence Academy of Art in 2015 I spent the weekends over one term during my second year learning how to carve marble in the traditional ‘pointing’ method under the guidance of master stone carver Jason Arkles.

Jason offered several academic plaster casts to copy and I chose the small female torso to make a copy of.

Jason is a great teacher and sculptor – and I advise you not to miss his unique and informative podcast 'The Sculptors Funeral' which you’ll find on his homepage (see links below).

Year sculpted: 2015.

Dimensions (H x W): 30cm x 16cm. Actual size may vary, especially depending on the base.
