About this Event
A 6- week course at St Canice’s Cathedral and Round Tower
Thursdays 22nd October – 26th November 2026

6 week course €65 per person
We are delighted to introduce our first ‘Foundations in Stone Cutting’ course to St Canice’s Cathedral and Round Tower, with local stonecutter, artist and facilitator; Marin Matthews.
This 6 week course will introduce participants to the principles in stone cutting. Each beginner will start with a locally sourced piece of flagstone and gradually develop it into an individual hand-carved work.
This course is for beginnings with no past experience in stone cutting or carving and will combine practical instruction with observation, contemplation and storytelling.
The programme will establish a genuine foundation in stone cutting while encouraging participants to consider the relationship between material, creative work, meaning and self.
