Tutor: Veronica Ricks | Frodays 10am – 4pm | 12 weeks 

Discover the timeless beauty of stone carving or the rich variety of wood’s colour and grain in this hands-on sculpture course.

Beginners will receive a small piece of stone or wood and access to the school’s tools, with instruction in safe and effective use of carving tools and finishing methods. More experienced carvers will work alongside and develop their skills further in a supportive environment.
