An exciting opportunity to enrol in one or more terms of stone sculpting classes. This class provides the opportunity to carve in limestone and soapstone. Creating a sculpture in stone is an extra-ordinary satisfying experience. Create a simple form or dive into a year long project. From the complete beginner to someone who wants to put aside that time to sculpt under the experienced eye of the tutor. Learn new skills and have fun doing so.
(Additional costs: use of tools $20 per person to be paid directly to tutor for use of tools as well as approximately $30-$60 for stones)
