Hand Carving the letter 'e'
I attended a conference at St. Bride Library in 2007. During the 2 days we had experiences with various type tools one of them was hand carving. I loved it to bits.
Now that I am revisiting the earlier stuff I made it is the perfect opportunity to rekindle my love of monumental hand carved letters.
This one shows our instructor explaining how to keep the chisel at an angle that will help to carve at an optimum depth. The desired effect is to give the letter some body: light washing and shadow creation hence contrast will be achieved in stone.
