Hi, I'm David, a sculptor in stone. I've been offering Sculpture-in-a-Day courses to small groups since 2017. I was a full time teacher of art and science for over 30 years. I offer stone carving courses at weekends in late Spring, Summer and early Autumn in a beautiful open-air venue in Oxfordshire. You need no artistic ability and no experience - I promise you that you'll be delighted with what you produce! There are lots of examples of my clients' work on my website if you're looking for inspiration.
I'll also do Sculpture-on-a-Day in your garden for your own group - contact me to discuss this. You could use CraftCourses to pay or part-pay for this.
I sell my own work online and through exhibitions at various times in the year.
"Brilliantly taught by David! Walked away with a handsome bird/creature, now sitting on wall in my garden. Much admired by friends. Absolutely lived carving away, with expert guidance. Not too much, not too little. Good sized group of likeminded people, all of whom produced a finished piece by the end of the day. "
Sculpted in Stone responded:
"That's great to hear, Gurli, thank you, and thanks for coming."
"Really enjoyable day. Enjoyed the fact it was practical hands-on learning (make sure you bring a spare set of clothes!). Location was nice and enjoyed the company on the day. Could definitely see myself doing it again
"
Sculpted in Stone responded:
"Thanks Louis, it would be great to see you again. You made such a great job of your pieces, well done!"
"I had a great day, David was very supportive but did not take over. I was very pleased with my final piece, especially as I am not naturally creative. I can highly recommend this course"
Sculpted in Stone responded:
"Thank you Susan - you're more creative than you think! Your piece was excellent; inventive and beautifully finished. "
"I signed up for David's Sculpture in a Day course with zero experience of doing sculpture. I really enjoyed it and was totally absorbed in my creation all day. We started at 0930 and didn’t finish until almost 1800. All four of us doing the course came away with sculptures we were really pleased with and in all cases they closely resembled the ideas we had on arrival. David was a patient teacher and helped each of us to realise our own ideas. I’d definitely recommend it and will probably do it again."
Sculpted in Stone responded:
"Thanks Becca, it was great to have you on the course. Hope to see you again!
David"
