Private Tuition in Sculpture, Stone or Marble Carving, Letter Carving and Relief 2023

"I had a really inspiring and enjoyable day with Simon. He very patiently showed me various techniques and tools for tackling a carving. He has a great way of explaining how different types of stone can be used and affect the approaches used. I would highly recommend booking instruction from Simon if you are at all curious about stone carving."

ONE DAY STONE CARVING COURSE 2019

"Just spent an excellent day on Simon's one day letter carving course. This was a new medium for me with unfamiliar techniques. I was really pleased to have a chisel in hand very early in the day , and for most of the day, guided throughout by Simon. The support was great and I was very pleased with what was achieved. I followed Simon's advice and did a fair bit of preparation, studying lettering etc. and I would recommend this. "

INDIVIDUAL TUITION 2019

"I spent two full and wonderful days on an individual stone carving course with Simon. Although I have some experience working with stone, I asked Simon to treat me as a beginner as I was keen to learn the correct use of hammer and chisel for both lettering and relief carving. Simon's tuition (and his work) is inspirational and he gave me such confidence using the tools. Before lunch on the first day, I was cutting letters into marble! Highly recommended and I am already considering another course next year!"
