The Creative Dimension Trust
Apply NowFancy shaping real stone? Join a five-week beginner workshop at Building Crafts College to learn hand-tool techniques, progress from soap to limestone low relief, build practical skills and portfolio pieces, and connect with experienced stonemasons.
A five-week introductory stone carving workshop for beginners run by The Creative Dimension Trust at Building Crafts College, London. The course introduces hand tools and fundamental techniques for working in stone.
It begins with soap carving to help learners familiarise themselves with working in 3D form, then progresses to carving a form in soft limestone, developing designs and producing a traditional architectural low relief. Sessions take place in well-equipped stonemasonry workshops with guidance from experienced stone carving tutors.
