STONE CARVING
Stone Carving Workshop
with artist Bethany Lee of Bel Fine Art
Saturday, October 4th, 9:30-12PM
$145
Discover the Art of Traditional Stone Carving
Join us for a hands-on workshop where you’ll learn the fundamentals of stone carving using time-honored hand tools. In just two and a half hours, you'll gain experience with the three essential tools of the trade, and learn how to carve both lettering and a simple low-relief design.
No prior experience is needed — beginners welcome!
All materials, including tools and stone, are provided. Please wear closed-toe shoes for safety.
The workshop will be held outdoors under some shade and a canopy in the event of a little drizzle. In the case of very bad weather in the forecast, we will have a rain date on Sunday 10/5. Each student will leave with their very own carved stone creation!
This workshop is limited to 8. Each student will get plenty of personal attention.
