Stone Carving Steps - (Reading > Apply a Diagram)

Hi Sarah, I hope this email finds you well! I'm excited about our plan to try stone sculpting together. I've been researching and found a great resource at 1 that outlines the entire process. Since we're both beginners, we should start with what they call 2. Soapstone seems ideal because it rates only 1-2 on the hardness scale and can be worked with simple hand tools. We won't need to invest in expensive power equipment right away. I've made a list of essential items we'll need to purchase. The basic hand tools will cost between 3 each. Don't forget we'll also need safety equipment - the website emphasizes that 4 are absolutely necessary, not just recommended. If we decide we enjoy this hobby, there's a beginner workshop available 5 that includes basic tools and materials for $175. Would you be interested in signing up together? Let me know what you think! Best, Jamie
