Stone Carving for Beginners

One-Day Workshops

The Workshops are set up for those wanting to learn a new skill and to carve a small slab of Portland Stone.

Providing starting points, encouraging the development of ideas, knowledge, skills, visual awareness and creative potential.

They are based in Weymouth. A region renowned for its beauty and cultural legacy. The workshops are open to complete beginners wishing to try stone carving for the first time. As well as for those with a little experience artistically or manually, who would like to push their knowledge and limits further.

My stone carving courses will allow you to sculpt a small relief of your design ( or by using one of my templates ) on a piece of Portland Stone.
The course is suitable for ages 12+
Tools and materials are supplied, as well as protective safety glasses.
Appropriate clothing to be worn (i.e. enclosed shoes)
The stones vary in size, but to give you a rough idea, here are some sizes. 22 x 20 cms, 18 x 22 cms. If you decide to use your design, please bring images/drawings of different sizes. ( Keep it simple, to begin with.)
To ensure the quality of the Workshops, classes are limited to six participants.
We will be having a break so do bring some lunch.
