About Alabaster: Instead of harder stone grades like marble or limestone, students will carve Alabaster. Alabaster is a lightly colored, translucent, soft stone that has been used throughout the world for stone objects. Since ancient times, it has been used to create small items like perfume bottles to life size statues. Its softness makes it a perfect beginner carving stone, while the translucency makes it quite beautiful as a piece of art.
About Workshop 4200: Since 2015, Workshop 4200 has provided a much needed home for all kinds of creators: makers, builders, artists, teachers, performers, designers, engineers, and innovators. Jyl Bonaguro has had her professional sculpture studio here since 2016.

Stone Carving Workshop
Talk about a different experience! I really enjoyed the class and Jyl was excellent at working with people to get their art as close to their desired design as possible. It was a chill environment and I would totally recommend others to the course.
Stone Carving Workshop
Jyl is an amazing instructor! Very personable and knowledgeable. Knew when to help and guide and when to let students figure it out. The class itself was taxing physically but so fun and worth it.
Stone Carving Workshop
Working with stone is challenging but super rewarding in the end. Jyl is a great teacher, she provided guidance for each student so they can fully realize their vision. I was pretty amazed at what we were all able to accomplish in a single day. All 5 students in the class were able to complete their pieces with time to take photos and chat. I highly recommend this course for anyone looking to try something special and unique.
Stone Carving Workshop
This was so much more fun than we could have imagined!! Super educational too. Jyl is a fantastic teacher and extremely talented. So cool being able to bring home our sculptures the same day. We can’t wait to sign up for another one of Jyl’s classes soon!
Stone Carving Workshop
Had a great time! Much more comprehensive than I expected and we were given a great opportunity to explore the craft process from start to finish. Jyl was a fantastic teacher and really did a good job of working with each student at their individual skill level and direction, a trait which not all artists possess. I felt like a potential student could sign-up for the course having little or lots of background in the arts and spend a fine day getting to know the materials and exploring their own gestures and expression in the craft with the full support of teacher and classmates. A great time for sure and well worth the cost, especially considering the materials provided, tools available for use and super interesting studio space in which to work.
