John Remmers
Carving in Alabaster (Ages 12-17)

Studio
3 Day class (9am-4pm: Mon., Tues., & Wed.)
Tuition: $110
Materials: $10

Students will learn the basic subtractive methods of stone carving - primarily abrasive vs. percussive techniques. This means that tools such as rasps and files vs. hammer & chisel will primarily be used. There will be some emphasis on Zuni style fetish figures.

John Remmers resides in Canehill, Arkansas, and has been teaching for the past thirty years; the last thirteen of which have been at Fayetteville High School. He received his Degree in Art Education from Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas in 1974, and did graduate studies at various colleges in Colorado as well as at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. John first studied stone carving at Ghost Ranch in Abiqu, New Mexico, and most of what he teaches comes from personal explorations.
