STONE CARVING COURSES

I offer tuition in sculpture, stone carving, stone letter carving and relief to individuals and small groups throughout the year at flexible times agreed with the workshop. Teaching does not take place on Sunday or Monday. All courses are independently run by me and held at The Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop.

more about our courses

These courses are designed for those who would like to discover the art of stone carving, an ancient form of art which is still popular today.

You will learn to think three dimensionally and how to manipulate the stone from the basic idea to the finished work. You will learn the importance of drawing your design onto the stone before carving, thinking about style, proportion, spacing and form before the process of carving begins.
