Stonecarving Weekend Workshop

3rd September 2022 @ 10:00 am - 4th September 2022 @ 4:00 pm

£175.00

Learn the techniques and process of stone carving in a two day weekend workshop.

You will be using the type of material and tools that every stone carver has used, from Antiquity to Michelangelo, Bernini to Rodin!

Learn how to start “thinking” in three dimensions and discover how to plan and create a sculpture of your own in limestone.

The course will take place outside, with cover in case of rain.

The workshop will run from 10am – 4pm on both days, with a break for lunch.

Attendees will need to bring:

Warm clothing that can become dirty/dusty.

Proper shoes/boots, if possible steel toe capped, but not essential. Need to be comfortable as you will be standing to work.

Work gloves (optional)

Hat or scarf to keep dust out of hair (optional)

Some form of inspiration, idea or target to achieve. Either a picture of a sculpture for reference, or a picture or object from nature, whatever you like!
