Contemporary Sculptor
Creative Stone Carving Weekends
Throughout the year I’ll be running stone carving weekends, where you’ll spend two days working on a sculpture which you’ll be able to take home at the end of Sunday. Each day starts at 10am. and finishes about 4pm.
​
The courses will take place in my studio which was once the Feed Store for the barn which we converted into our home in the Mendip AONB overlooking the beautiful Chew Valley, south of Bristol.
​
You will be provided with everything you need from tools to stone. If the weather is warm enough we can sit and eat outside in the garden with stunning views over Chew Valley Lake towards the distant Cotswold Hills. If not, in a lovely warm farmhouse kitchen.
​
Space restricts me to only 4 people per weekend.
​
The cost per person is £150.00. I have reduced the price as, sadly, because of worries over Covid 19, I shall not be able to provide lunches so please can you bring your own. The local shop sells filled rolls and a variety of pasties.
If you are interested, please contact and I will send you a booking form or if you want to know more information, please call or email.
​
If you wish to stay in the area over the weekend I can send you details of campsites, cottages and tree houses.
Due to Covid 19, Stone carving weekends are due to start in April, 2021.
