Stone Carving - Geometric Shapes - Experience at the Blended Monkey Studios - April 2025

The students created some wonderful pieces in this 1-day course & we're so pleased they enjoyed the session.

REVIEWS

“Today was my second stone carving workshop at Blended Monkey with tutor Mark Evans. Mark is an extremely patient, knowledgeable and encouraging teacher. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my first experiences of stone carving and have been thrilled with the work that I’ve created. Louise and Simon who are our hosts at Blended Monkey are warm, welcoming, good humoured and just the perfect hosts. Throughout the day we were supplied with delicious cakes, biscuits and drinks as well as a lovely lunch.The course was very well organised, the teaching superb and the company was fantastic. All in all a perfect day. Thank you Louise, Simon and Mark.”
