Safety and introductory concepts for sculpture design will be covered. Wear a long-sleeved shirt, long-legged jeans or other sturdy long-legged pants, close-toed leather shoes or boots. Bring a stone about the size of your fist, or one will be provided, leather work gloves, welding helmet if you have one, a lunch or snack and refillable water bottle.
