- Sculptor AC Button II of carolinasculptu... 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 in their entirety as part of this internship is recommended.
In VSCA Video 114, Button begins stock removal as he prepares to produce a foundation point on the tip of a feather. Tool options, related to Tool Steel versus Carbide-Tipped tools, and posture while working are briefly discussed.
For better understanding of the entire process, study these earlier VSCA Compass & Triangle videos:

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.

*WHAT AN AMAZING RESOURCE* for the future for people - I have no interest in stone carving but OMG I so respect you for all this effort...!!!
Thank you very much. That is my intent and purpose.
@@carolinasculpturestudio - Its exceptional noble. I taught myself to become a tailor of bespoke men's suits. I WISH someone had done the same for tailoring. I had to watch hundreds of videos in different languages with conflicting information.
On behalf of those who benefit in the future THANK YOU
@@piccalillipit9211 craftsmanship is the goal, regardless of the specific craft. As a boy on the farm in Vermont, I was enthralled with the local saddle shop and leatherwork operated by my 2nd & 3rd grade teacher’s husband and son. I bought scraps and made anything I could. I love to sew but I’m no tailor.
When I got older, I participated in the decline of the small family dairy farming lifestyle, watching it fade and die around the entire USA. Incredibly sad and difficult to experience. I recognized the same decline in the granite industry as I returned to Vermont to cut stone a few miles from our family farm homestead. Now, decades later, much of that is gone.
My time apprenticing stone was still a film-photograph experience (& even that is gone.) Now technology has changed so much that now it’s easy to video and share things before they disappear forever like they often do. I didn’t do stone so I could put it on video. This is one more way I can help protect it and honor my Masters.
In the larger view, it doesn’t matter to me if these videos train people about stone or inspire them to capture their legitimate craft of tailoring or anything else. The sacrifices and investments of Craftsmanship is the goal, not convenient hobbyism or being an influencer. As a fellow craftsman, I’m confident that you understand.
Thanks again for your good words and participating in this venture with me. Thank you for being a fellow craftsman. Keep in touch.
@@carolinasculpturestudio I 100% understand and agree. I was watching a video about a lace making factory in Britain - its the last of its kind in the world and they cant make new patterns as the knowledge and skill has been lost. When the punch card maker retires the factory will have to close.
I think it is incumbent on the government to NOT let crats and skills be lost. We dont KNOW the future, we have no idea what will be needed, what will be valuable.
NASA just had to get a programmer out of retirement to fix a problem on Voyager 1, it took a national advertising campaign to locate anyone with the knowledge.
@@piccalillipit9211 All tangible items go from new to used to unwanted to discarded before some are rediscovered as relevant and sometimes valuable. Craft goes the same way. Man wants to make it easier. Along the way, the lines that connect some dots of know-how get straightened as other dots are eliminated. When someone later realizes value in those missing dots, suddenly the lost & discarded can become relevant and important again.
Sadly, it isn’t just about craft. All have followed the same patterns and cycles since the beginning of Man.
I know other countries have programs to protect craft. I have mixed feelings about them. Craft should be protected and supported. but when it is simply a subsidized endeavor, imho it loses its power as a craft. Then one only needs to learn the skill sets to be ensured a paid position as a demonstrator when in reality their fluency (or lack thereof) would never support their own workshop in the general marketplace. When competition is diminished or eliminated, craft suffers. Sometimes it dies. Those in the marketplace must afford to keep it alive. If it survives other ways, the relevance will have been determined artificially. That’s like having fake customers or being wealthy enough to do it even when no one wants it to be done.
It’s often contradictory. Years ago, I couldn’t afford the time or resources to do what I’m doing now with these videos. I was metaphorically hungry and had to make my craft as productive as possible. Now I am not quite as hungry. So I have more liberty to do what I like. That can compromise many things, like turning serious craft into foolish rambling or teaching vs doing. Am I more of a craftsman now that I can exploit some success or was I a more genuine craftsman when I couldn’t afford to do anything else? I’m trying to do the right thing, both for me and for everyone else. I want to do something bigger and I only have so many opportunities to do that.
When enlarging by Pointing with compass & triangle, you have to do the work and trust the method. Then you have to fill in the missing information between the points that were expanded between model and job in order to produce a quality result. It’s a great metaphor for these videos. I may not know how the points I make in these videos will be connected or what information will be added along the way. I do know that my points will be accurate and truthful points. We can only do our best and then trust that those who come after us will do at least as well.
Maybe you can find a way to capture your craft in the same way?
