How are marble carving statues made by professional sculptors?
Marble carving process: (1) Design - sketches and clay maquette; (2) Stone selection - statuary marble for color consistency; (3) Roughing out - point chisel removes large chunks; (4) Modeling - tooth and flat chisels refine shape; (5) Detail carving - rasps, rifflers for fine details; (6) Finishing - abrasives up to 3000+ grit for desired sheen. PFM's master sculptors have trained at Carrara's renowned academies.
