Click here to see next event August 16th 2008 Nick Pantelides - Bone Carving & John Adamson - Model / Maquette Making We had two great talks by Club Members Nick Pantelides talked about bone carving. He had become interested in this after seeing the Mauri work in New Zealand. He had expertimented with various types of bone and other materials but found cattle leg bones the best. It sounded quite a smelly cleaning process, followed by an easy carving process and a long time polishing. The results are spectacular. John Adamson talked about model / maquette and templates as a way of solving carving problems. Traditionall clay was used to make maquettes but plastecine is an easier alternative. For templates he uses cardboard and plastic.
