On this two day freestyle stone carving course you will sculpt in Maltese limestone which is relatively easy to carve with lovely results.

 

Working with 10 inch stone blocks, your tutor Andrew Worthington will guid you through the processes of taking your design ideas from sketch to a three dimensional piece, initially by marking out your stone, learning to create different textures and how to release your design from the stone using chisels & gouges. 

 

We recommend you come with a variety of ideas as a starting point for your sculpture although these may develop and change over the two days. By the end of your course you will go home with your own sculpted piece.
