Arts and Crafts Experience Days: This two day stone carving workshop is a chance for budding sculptors to develop their technique with the help of an expert sculptor - available at venues in Gloucestershire, Staffordshire, and Wolverhampton. Create your own stunning relief out of limestone and learn a brand new skill!

The art of stone carving dates back hundreds of thousands of years. The material's durability means that many early artworks still survive – the lasting legacy of ancient cultures around the world. During this two day course, you’ll learn to properly handle the tools of the trade, which haven’t really changed much since antiquity. Using a mallet and chisel, you’ll carve a raised design from a block of limestone. If you are a stone carving novice,  do not fear! You’ll receive individual attention and step-by-step guidance from your friendly instructor throughout the course. Light refreshments are available, and you’re welcome to enjoy lunch in the onsite bakery and café. All materials and tools are provided, and you’ll get to take home your hand carved souvenir.

The Two Day Stone Carving Experience is suitable for beginners, as well as those who’ve tried their hand at carving before. This unique course makes a thoughtful experience gift for an artistic loved one!

A great day. A completely new experience but guided all day by skilled tutors. I was surprised I actually carved an owl. I didn't think I'd complete it in one day, but I did and was pleased with the results.

I had a fabulous day at the Stone Carving Experience. Miranda shared her wealth of knowledge and experience making the whole process simple and easy to follow. I've never done anything like this before but I soon got the hang of it. It was great escapism and so relaxing to chip away at my sandstone block. I would have been quite happy being absorbed in the creative process regardless of the outcome but I also ended up with a carving that I was proud of and more importantly my 7 year old daughter and my wife were impressed with. Thank You Miranda
