Lesson Three: How to Carve a Love Heart Candle Holder in Stone bespoke art Central Otago — a placeThis is a sculpture with a purpose. You'll carve a heart from a block of stone shaped, smoothed, and finished then drill a hole in the front to hold a tea light candle. On the back, a Koru spiral is carved in relief. The result is something functional and beautiful, and it makes a meaningful gift. This is Lesson 3 in the series. It introduces some new techniques including drilling a cavity into the stone so some experience with the basics is helpful.
