Stone Carving (4 days) £625
28-31 August 2026 (Bank Holiday weekend)
This course provides an introduction to the nature of stone and the means by which we can work with it.
Using the traditional techniques of the sculptor and stonemason, methods of transferring ideas onto a block and finding form within it will be discovered, and the aim is to complete a sculpture and return home with a finished piece.
For the past 20 years, Simon has been able to find supplies of affordable reclaimed Bath stone for workshops, but it is now almost impossible to find, and new stone is prohibitively expensive. We probably have sufficient Bath stone for 2026 and will be looking for more, however if you have a particular size requirement or wish to use a stone other than Bath stone, then please let Simon know in advance.
Stone carving can be physically demanding.
Suitable for beginners.
