"A warm welcome greeted me by Simon and Louise, who quickly introduced me to my Mark, the tutor for the day. After a quick introduction and an order placed for drinks, we were soon marking out our letters that we had decided to do. Tools were described and how to use them, and then we were onto the actual stone carving part. Mark happily went around getting everyone started, his extensive experience clearly showing. In no time, we were called for lunch where an abundant spread of home-cooked food had been laid out. After a leisurely meal, we were onto the afternoon session where we all progressed with completing our carvings. Overall, a table full of impressive letters had been produced, all credit to Mark for his guidance and to Simon and Louise for their outstanding hospitality. I would certainly recommend the course to others."
