Beginning stone courses usually focus on learning to use various hand tools, finding and developing forms, and experimenting with different finish textures. Other courses explore complex forms, different varieties of stone, mounting/display options, the use of power-assisted and pneumatic tools, and precise replication of existing sculptures and models. A common goal for all courses is to complete one sculpture or model suitable for display or use in casting.
