This a great introduction to Jade carving and a very hands on, immersive experience. All my jade carving equipment is for one person, so you will be the only person in the studio carving the Jade. I look forward to welcome you into my, personal daily, workspace. I will go over any health and safety tips as well as explaining how my equipment works. You will be able to pick a piece of Jade which speaks to you, due to it color, size or shape. You can also choose to work with a special beach pebble you may have found. Please note: the sizes of Jade to choose from are up to 70mm long. I can provide a bigger size for additional cost. (Incase bring some cash money with you) The next step will be to make a simple sketch appropriate to the stone you chose. From here on the fun will begin! You get to carve your basic design and get to see it come to life in your hands! I will show you all the processes to complete your art work to your liking. Some processes are grinding the Jade with diamond wheels, drilling holes, sanding and polishing. Please note that we are working with genuine New Zealand Jade which will have its own characteristics and inclusions and may not always take a high shiny polish. In the 3 hours you will be able to create a basic shape appropriate to your skill level, too intricate work is not very realistic. No previous experience needed to do this workshop.
