The Carving Studio and Sculpture Center is located at the head of two hundred acres of former marble quarrying and manufacturing facilities. The post-industrial landscape was a key element in the founding of our organization over 20 years ago. Today, inactive quarries and former manufacturing facilities offer a fantastic landscape for the imagination. The Carving Studio and Sculpture Center has expanded programming to include exploration of most sculptural media.

The former company store of the Vermont Marble Company serves as the center for workshops, lectures, communal dinners and special events. A sculpture garden greets the first time visitor prior to their discovery of site-specific installations mingled among post-industrial ruins. Workshop participants work side-by-side with people of all ages and experience. Our Artist in Residence program encourages exchange of technical skills and aesthetic viewpoints with sculptors from around the world. One and two person exhibitions in our Gallery feature artistic excellence in contemporary sculpture.

Since 1987, the Carving Studio & Sculpture Center has been a source of inspiration for three-dimensional artists working with stone and other materials, as well as those who are ready to experiment and learn. For year-round sculpture classes, workshops, residencies, exhibitions or simply enjoying sculptural art, the Carving Studio and Sculpture Center offers more than just Vermont marble. Our organization sparks ideas, offers valuable guidance and instruction, and provides inspiration for future creative work.
