- 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 107, Button continues resolving the left side of the die while reference material is still in place. Tool preparation and posture during use is discussed. He later expands on the Master-Apprentice relationship and how the pursuit to become a Master is an endless and humbling quest.
For better understanding of the entire process, study these earlier VSCA Compass & Triangle videos:

VSCA 30 • Virtual Stone Carving ...
VSCA 31 • Virtual Stone Carving ...

Opportunity to visit studio during the annual Open Doors Studio Tours will take place in April each year. Visit opendoorstudio... for more information. Additional times to visit are generally available year round by appointment.

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.

This was great...!!!...The part on “burning” out the temper of blades is something students should pay attention to…!!!...Those segments can fly off with very dangerous velocity for sure after continuing cyclic pressure of use and loss of proper temper…
I've told students before that I can get most 5th graders to carve or model in clay a decent flower...but to create a perfect cube or other related set geometry is no simple task at all...and where mastery of the craft truly comes into play…
Your quote from the website is what got me following, and watching your videos whenever I get a chance. I knew then we were kindred in perspectives of not only teaching but the craft itself. I have always taught, be the material textiles, clay, wood, or stone is…That the tools and materials will always teach more profoundly than I ever can…and the only difference between the master and the apprentice is the ability to humbly listen better to what is being taught…
Thanks for another great video and this collection is a gift to any wishing to learn this craft…
The part that confounds me is how so many people have trouble embracing less (especially of their own view of what is and isn’t relevant) to achieve more. There is so much freedom within the boundaries of proven methods and technology. I most want to be the student, not the teacher, because I love to learn and become far more versus being the most skilled or experienced person in a given situation.
As a chef, I learned certain skill sets until they were innate. This liberated me to be so creative and productive. I have always referred to that type of ingrained training as my “second mind”. It is greater than rote, but I don’t have to consciously have to think and decide. The world disappears and I simply create.
The same thing happens with stone. I now know what chisel fits the cut without any thought. I didn’t invent the methods I use. I trusted my Masters and become part of the process, just like they did. In many ways, I am one with my tools and materials. It’s not something I can explain to people who don’t do the same thing. And it’s not meant as some contrived metaphysical construct like too many artists profess to dazzle and exploit a gullible audience. As I let go and invest myself, the distractions of the tangible and intangible worlds are not longer noticeable.
But people want to create and reinterpret so much of the process that the viable process ceases to exist and the results suffer. Those who come next are lost, frustrated and confused instead of nurtured and inspired. Not cool.
Anyways.. now, after a dry, dusty & hot day in the studio. I’m going to cook dinner and clear my mind.
The sensei knows what the novice cannot even dream
But all still dream, because so much remains to be known.
For woodturning we use jigs to make sure we sharpen on the same plane every time. It is critical for getting a clean cut, good surface finish and no catches. I would do a similar thing for sharpening stone cutting tools. It matters to the finished product.
you’re absolutely correct. Consistency in sharpening makes a big difference.
i wanted to present specific perspective on bushing tools because they don’t really have a peer in woodworking. 4 points are easily the most sensitive to service. if one point is higher, they dig and stall so they don’t perform well. they also tend to dig while still spinning if points are too close to each other. conversely, if points are spread out too far- like to the corners of the tool- they cut and spin ok but will tend to fracture and lose at least one point. This happens because the point is weakened after being diminished in cross section by 50% versus being produced as a true pyramid profile.
Curiously, it seems common for 4 points to be sold new as sharpened to the corners as I describe.…. Now that I’ve explained what happens, you are welcome to consider why such tools might be sold in a fragile state.
edit- In my professional opinion, the jigs and successive grits that are so beneficial in woodcarving have far less relevance in stone carving. Others are welcome to do what they like, but I think such diligence is futile for stone chisels. Refer to my VSCA Video 27 on sharpening tools and general profiles. ruclips.net/video/qhoVie0_bMw/видео.html. Then learn to produce these results as needed as quickly as possible. That’s what professionals like me do. None of us use jigs or multiple grits. it is simply not warranted by the tasks at hand in a stone carving application.
Howdy Clint! Hammer on. (Gently)
yeah, but you gotta swing like you mean it or that stone will never get cut....
