Stone Carving Workshops at Railway Studios
With over thirty years of experience running stone carving workshops, I am now offering weekly sessions on Thursday afternoons, Friday mornings and Friday afternoons at Railway Studios, next to Charlbury rail station. These can be booked in blocks of six consecutive weekly sessions.
I will also be offering bespoke carving classes, times to suit. These can be booked on a one to one basis or in small groups. £20 per hour per person.

Upcoming Courses
I will be running a “One Day Relief Stone Carving” workshop on Tuesday December 10th, 10.30am-4pm. The day will involve working with small pieces of natural Bath limestone to create a relief carving. We will cover discussion of your idea, roughing out the design, finer carving, rasping, sanding and polishing.
The cost of the day is £130 which includes, stone, use of tools and protective clothing, a light lunch, tea, coffee and cake.
DECEMBER 10
In these small, friendly, workshops you will be given enough guidance at every stage to create a small sculpture. As each person works at their own pace you may complete this within the six classes or you might want to carry on into the next block of workshops. Come with an idea of what you would like to make or wait and see what the stone suggests! No experience necessary, and no pressure to create a masterpiece… although it may well happen!
The cost for six mornings is £170 with a separate fee for a piece of stone of your choice, at cost (£20- £50). Tools and protective clothing provided. Payment is for the full six weeks but If there is the odd morning that you can’t make, there may be some flexibility between the mornings/afternoons within the six week block- there may be the possibility to carry over missed classes to the next block if you are also signed up to the regular classes.
I am very happy for you to provide your own stone if you prefer, but please be sure that you can lift it!
Workshops will take place outside whenever possible. There is cover!
Tea/coffee and biscuits!
