Columbine is the Colorado State flower and symbol for Spirit. Our Loveland location of Columbine Art Gallery and the National Sculptors' Guild has quickly become the largest original fine art source in Northern Colorado located across the street from Sculpture in the Park events at Benson Park.

Stone Carving

Stone Carving is a subtractive sculpting process, the material is removed from the whole. Typically beginning with a block (marble, alabaster, limestone, granite) the sculptor sketches on the stone and cuts the larger areas away. (1)

 

 

Once the rough cuts are complete the sculptor begins a long process of chiseling, grinding and sanding. (2 & 3) Texture is achieved by the process of chiseling or smoothed by sanding.

 

 

Once the sculptor is content with the surface and form of the stone the sculpture is complete. (4)

To keep your marble sculptures clean, use a simple household cleaner like "Formula 409", apply a small amount to a soft cloth and gently wipe finger prints or marks off. Contact the gallery or artist if you are unsure of the type of material your sculpture is, the wrong cleaner or application may damage or discolor your artwork.
