Teaching Soapstone Carving for Children

A Teacher's Guide

Bonnie Gosse

Edited for the Press by Jane Lind

THIS TEACHER'S GUIDE is designed to accompany Soapstone Carving for Children—a craft book with a difference! First of all, Soapstone Carving for Children is a family book; second, it combines a history of the craft with the procedures of carving, making the book a high-interest source of enjoyment; and third, it provides sample projects and working drawings for children to develop on their own.

Have a go! Experience the hands-on pleasure of carving soapstone.
