This one-day private experience with our guest stone mason, Mark Evans, will offer a simple introduction to stone as a material and to the special chisels used in letter carving.
 
Mark will then teach you how to draw out your capital Roman letters and carve them into an approx. 10-inch square piece of Portland limestone using a traditional dummy hammer and letter carving chisels.
Alternatively, you can choose to carve beautiful relief hearts.
 
The perfect, unique couple's gift - carving your own pieces with your own hands - beautiful artworks and memories that will last forever.
 
This STONE CARVING EXPERIENCE for 2 is held in a dedicated covered, outside space in the peaceful setting of our Blended Monkey Studios located in lovely cottage gardens. 
 
This full-day private experience includes refreshments throughout, materials, use of all the equipment, lunch and a certificate of achievement.
