If you are unable to attend a scheduled course date but would still like to try some stone carving, please contact the Centre to arrange some one to one carving tuition (prices start from £25 per hour).

Please Note: Maximum number of 12 people per course.

Timing:

One day courses run from 9.30am to 4.30pm, with a 45 minute lunch break. Other course times vary, please see each course page for details.

Lunch:

Please bring your own packed lunch (we are about one mile from a village shop and pub if you forget your lunch). We provide refreshments and biscuits, which you can help yourself to throughout the session.

Clothing:

The workshops are dusty environments so old or work clothes are recommended. We'll supply safety goggles which must be worn at all times in and around the workshop areas. We also highly recommend that you wear steel toe-capped boots, but at the very least you should wear very stout footwear. Sandals or flip-flops are NOT suitable.

Age limits:

Minimum age 14 for most courses, unless specified (children's & family courses are for 6-13 years)
