STONE CARVING SKILLS; WORKING WITH GEOMETRY & PATTERN
Saturday 30 August 10.00 am – 4.30 pm
£130 including refreshments throughout & lunch, all materials, use of equipment on the day & certificate of completion.
This one day workshop with our guest stone mason, Mark Evans, will offer a simple introduction to stone as a material and to the hand tools used in carving.
Mark will teach students how to set out an achievable geometric design and cut a relief carving on an approx. 10-inch square piece of Portland limestone using a traditional dummy hammer and stone carving chisels.
Not only a hands on experience but one that might offer a fresh way of looking at stone work in cathedral, historic buildings and even in the high street.
This STONE CARVING - WORKING WITH GEOMETRY & PATTERN workshop is held in a dedicated covered, outside space in the peaceful setting of our Blended Monkey studios in the cottage gardens of our home on the Cambs/Norfolk border.
This experience can be enjoyed by a group of up to 6 people and you'll take away everything you make during the session.
The stone carving workshops are suitable for everyone (14+ accompanied by an adult). There is a degree of arm strength and the ability to stand for periods of time required.
Refreshments will be provided throughout the day, and a light, rustic farmhouse-style lunch is also included - tailored to meet all dietary requirements. Depending on the weather/time of year, lunch can be taken either out in the cottage garden or in our country kitchen which has a view over the garden.
All students will be provided with a certificate of completion.
This would make a fabulous CRAFTY GIFT for someone - so drop us a line and we can post out to you/the recipient a complimentary personalised gift certificate for this experience🎁
We also offer accommodation in the form of our Crafter's Retreat cabin subject to availability or we can advise of other local B&Bs.
