Hello fellow artisans,

The project 4 data has been released and here is an over view.

The videos give you an inside look at the steps we took to create this feature.

Special Note:

The hand carving & sculpting of this feature was performed by Mike Vernelson.
The methods and styles he uses can be purchased on the Artisans Channel.
Vertical Artisans promotes these teachings as additional hand carved training. There are many rock carvers in the world and Mike continues to raise the standard. These methods are unique to Mike Vernelson and his interpretations of hand carving from years of practice and experience.
