Carolina Sculpture Studio

Sculptor AC Button II of http://carolinasculpturestudio.com/ offers a Virtual Stone Carving Apprenticeship to aspiring stone carvers and sculptors. The goal of the VSCA video series is to preserve heritage while preparing individuals for greater achievement in related three-dimensional work across media. Additional videos on the Carolina Sculpture Studio channel present valuable information about specific projects, tools, methodology and history to complement the VSCA video series. Studying those videos as part of this internship is recommended.

VSCA Video 28 presents an overview of the pointing machines as used by Button in studio, with the goal of guiding aspiring carvers towards purchase of the proper pointing machine for their needs. He presents and discusses different pointing machines designs along with their respective qualities and unique features. Options for fabrication of chassis for pointing machines are also discussed.

Pointing Machine Use will be discussed and demonstrated in a subsequent video(s) during actual studio work on pending commissioned project(s). A thorough understanding of the Squaring a Block process is beneficial to using a Pointing Machine, since the development & placement of foundation points or pads for plumb blocks and the proper use of plumb blocks with straight edge and ruler are analogous to the development & placement of foundation points for and general use of a Pointing Machine.

It is strongly recommended that individuals watch & study all VSCA videos in order and in their entirety before considering In-Studio instruction. In-Studio instruction under Button is an excellent option for those who chose to pursue and afford it. If studied and practiced, the lessons offered via the Virtual Stone Carving Apprenticeship series will help streamline such In-Studio instruction to make it as time-efficient and cost-effective as possible for both Sculptor and Student/Apprentice. Both individual and group sessions are available and will be tailored to meet specific needs.
