Stone carving with Norbert Jäger
Form, structure and expression – a workshop for beginners and advanced students
This 6-day workshop focuses on direct engagement with stone (alabaster or marble). Under the guidance of internationally renowned sculptor Norbert Jäger, we will develop free forms – organic, geometric, or figurative. We will work without a fixed template, allowing the creative process itself to become a source of inspiration, often leading to surprising results. After an introduction to the material and tools, Norbert Jäger will teach fundamental stone carving techniques: from rough shaping to fine polishing. This will result in individual sculptures with clear forms and their own expressive power. The workshop is suitable for both beginners and advanced participants. Tools will be provided. The material (marble or alabaster) is paid for directly to the artist based on weight.
