"The craft of sculpture combines geometry, math, anatomy and woodwork. Woodwork, as a special subject, begins in fifth grade and follows through twelfth grade. Students first complete a hickory carver’s mallet, a maple serving spoon, and a bowl or chest of various shapes and woods. The fundamental tools they use are hand saws, chisels, gouges, rasps, files and sandpaper. With these tools, the students learn to shape, smooth and polish wood. The underlying goal is to teach the students patience, perseverance and pride in their work." - The Denver Waldorf School
