Master carvers Matt Bruce and Casey Winningham will demonstrate and discuss different techniques in limestone carving–a distinctive arts tradition from south-central Indiana. From nearby Mitchell, Indiana, Bruce works with an air-chisel to create imaginative carvings, and often helps participants try carving. Winningham carves by hand using a chisel and mallet to craft monuments. Their demonstrations and narrative stage discussions will be free and open to the public, and are sponsored by Themester 2016: Beauty, an initiative of the IU College of Arts and Sciences.
Demonstration: 10:30 to 11:30 a.m.
Discussion: 11:45 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Cost: Free
