Stone Carving - Roman Letters - Workshop

STONE CARVING SKILLS; CUTTING A ROMAN LETTERFORM IN STONE

Saturday 2 August 10.00 am – 4.30 pm

£130 including refreshments throughout & lunch, materials, use of all equipment on the day, tutoring & 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 special chisels used in letter carving.

Mark will teach students how to draw out a capital Roman letter and then carve it into an approx. 10-inch square piece of Portland limestone using a traditional dummy hammer and letter carving chisels.

Not only a hands on experience but one that might offer a fresh way of looking at architectural lettering and traditional memorials.

This STONE CARVING - CUTTING A ROMAN LETTER IN STONE 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.

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.

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.

All students will be provided with a certificate of completion.
