It will take place in my workshop in Leicestershire between 9 and 5 both days. Although it is aimed at beginners, all are welcome. The course costs £170 and the price includes all stone, use of tools, safety equipment and lots of cups of tea. Most people take away a completed sculpture at the end of the course. Places are limited and will be allocated on a first come first serve basis. Please e-mail to reserve your place in the first instance. A deposit of £50 will then be required to confirm your booking with the remainder payable on the weekend. Futher details are available on the website at www.chisel-it.co.uk I look forward to hearing from you. Regards, Graeme Mitcheson. Dear all,

I occassionally get people who are looking for more than just a couple of days tuition which is all I can offer due to my other commitments. I would be happy to send them your way via a link.

Courses will cost about £150 for a weekend, the price includes your stone, tools, tuition etc. Watch this space and I will hopefully see you later in the year. Graeme. Steve,

I had never heard of the Bevin Boys so a lesson in history is forthcoming! After giving me the website address I told him I would have a look as he said he was "famous" because he was on the internet! From our conversation you could tell that he was very passionate about this memorial so it was hard for me not to take a peak. Must say very impressive. I can't wait to see Mr. Parkes again to tell him that I've seen his famous picture. Good luck to you both!
