This unique two day workshop (Saturday 14 August & Sunday 15 August, 10am-4pm) will introduce you to the age old art of carving stone by hand.

We will begin by looking at and familiarising ourselves with the tools and materials required and then look at how those tools are used in the process carving stone.

There will be demonstrations of technique and advice on all aspects of carving stone by hand throughout the workshop.  

You will be supplied a block of stone on which you will create a relief carving of your choice.

At the end of day two your completed stone carving will be yours to take away and put in pride of place indoors or out.

You will require sturdy shoes and either a protective apron or old clothes.

Dust masks and eye protection will be supplied. 

Weather permitting this workshop will take place outside St Anne's on the green, otherwise it will be inside in the cool.

The cost of all materials is £40 payable directly to the tutor on the first day.
