This workshop will explore types of stone and their properties; as well as sourcing your material and tools and health & safety. Using hand tools only, participants are shown how to work stone effectively using traditional techniques. Beginners will then go on to carve a simple form, such as a vessel; and the Intermediate class will carve a more complex piece.
