Graeme Mitcheson – Stone Sculptor, ARBS

I will be running 2 stone carving weekends in the coming months. The 1st is in April but is fully booked, the 2nd is on the 22nd and 23rd of May, I still have spaces available on this one. The cost is £130 fo the weekend and includes all stone, tools and many cups of tea. The courses are designed to be productive and fun but they are hard work. There are more details on my website at www.chisel-it.co.uk . They are aimed at beginners although many people have returned a number of times to carve more stuff. We try to get everyone to complete a sculpture so they can take it home at the end of the course although some people equip themselves with tools and finish them off themselves. I have been running courses for nearly 15 years and  there have been sculptures of pretty much everything including violins, dolphins, horses, many heads, penguins, pelicans, sundials, naked torsos, water features, abstract pieces, legs, shells and an alien from the movie “Alien”. The oldest person to attend was a lady who travelled all the way from Portsmouth and she was 82, proving that anyone can have a go.
