For young people aged 14 to 24 interested in trying stone carving in a supportive setting. Ideal for beginners -- no particular skills or prior experience necessary.
14 August 2025 10am – 12 noon
In only two hours, learn all the basics you’ll need to create your own beautifully chiselled stone-carved sculpture by hand. Working with a small piece of UK-sourced Portland stone, you’ll carve out a simple image, e.g., a bird, animal or plant, and become familiar using traditional hand tools. In this relaxed, engaging class, you’ll feel inspired and excited to bring home a finished piece for your home or garden display.
Participants will be standing up to complete their carving and weather-permitting, will be based in the Landmark’s Garden. Please let Landmark staff know if you have any accessibility requirements.
Course Fee: £50
