Stone carving

Stone carving is the art of shaping and sculpting stone to create artworks, sculptures, or architectural elements. Skilled artisans use tools like chisels, hammers, and drills to remove material and reveal detailed forms. The process requires understanding the stone’s properties and careful planning to ensure durability and aesthetic quality. It has been a traditional craft for thousands of years, used in creating monuments, statues, and decorative features. Modern techniques may incorporate power tools or even laser carving, but the fundamental skill involves precision, patience, and artistic vision.
