Stone Carving is an ancient
activity where pieces of rough Natural Stone are shaped by the
controlled removal of stone. Owing to the permanence of the material,
evidence can be found that even the earliest societies indulged in some form
of stone work.
Work carried out by paleolithic societies to create flint tools is more often
referred to as knapping. Stone Carving that is done to produce
lettering is more often referred to as lettering.
Stone Carving differs from stone quarrying in that it is the act
of shaping or incising the stone, whereas quarrying is the activity of
acquiring useful stone, usually in blocks, from geological sources.
The term Stone Carving is of particular significance to sculptors being
a reference to a particular way of producing sculpture, as opposed to
modelling in clay or casting. The term also refers to the activity of masons
in dressing stone blocks for use in architecture, building or civil
engineering. It is also a phrase used by archaeologists, historians, and
anthropologists to describe the activity involved in making some types of
petroglyphs. |
