About the Class:

Embark on a journey of creativity and craftsmanship with Alex Macey, a seasoned local stone mason, as your guide.

We will delve into techniques used in this Heritage craft over the two days to unleash your artistic potential as you carve a Green Man into the canvas of stone.

You will personalise the design of your Green man, then be guided by our experienced stone mason on how to use the tools provided to carve different aspects and create texture. You will create depth and relief to bring your Green Man to life. You will master fundamental masonry skills and refine your technique in a supportive and inspiring atmosphere. 

Whether you're a complete novice or a seasoned artist, this hands-on workshop offers a unique opportunity to explore the intricate world of stone carving. Transform raw stone into your masterpiece, and leave with your very own creation, new skills and inspiration to fuel your creative journey.

Join us for a day filled with discovery, craftsmanship, and the satisfaction of bringing stone to life in your own unique way.
