Stone Carving - Relief Florals & Foliage - Experience in the Blended Monkey Studios & Gardens - August 2026
Updated: Sep 2
Today's relief florals & foliage workshop taught by our talented guest tutor, stonemason and artist, Mark Evans, was another fabulous success. Each of our group has come away with a work of art that will last many lifetimes. Well done everyone!
Mark had prepped the stone sections so the participants could choose from either a beautiful oak leaf or a symmetrical flower. They all look absolutely wonderful - and again we're amazed at how much everyone always achieves in just one day!
We kept the group fuelled with teas, coffees and some home-baked brownies & chocolate chip cookies courtesy of Fanoggins Bakery - and everyone also enjoyed a lovely lunch in the Blended Monkey kitchen.
Check out the photos & videos below - some truly wonderful pieces were created - and all in just one day!
If you missed out on this great experience, our next workshop in September is fully booked but Mark is returning next year to teach further wonderful stone carving experiences - so watch this space!
You can also book this workshop as a 1-2-1 or pairs private experience - the perfect birthday or anniversary gift! See more information HERE.

REVIEWS
"What a great way to spend a day. We attended the stone carving workshop and had an excellent time. Thought we would be doing a small boss but actually came home with a large one and Mark made sure it is as close to finished as possible. A friendly atmosphere plenty of refreshments, excellent lunch and a great sense of achievement."
