Ever Dreamed of Carving Stone by Hand?Now’s your chance to try your hand at one of the world’s oldest crafts.
In this stone carving workshop you’ll be guided by experienced tutor, Tommey, and introduced to the tools, materials, and techniques that have been used by stone carvers for centuries.
Through practical demonstration, you’ll learn how to safely handle chisels and mallets, and develop confidence and control as you practice marking out, roughing out, and refine the carved surfaces.
