Hands-On Houston: Soap Carving

Discover how to carve a bar of soap into a reductive sculpture with current resident artist Miles Gracey! Reductive art is a process of removing parts of a material to shape a design. As you remove parts of the soap, you will slowly reveal your design and hone your carving skills. Get ready for some good clean fun by using a variety of basic tools like paperclips, butter knives, and a spoon! Carve your rectangular bar of soap into a leaf, car, fish, or an abstract shape.
