"I spent a fantastic day learning to carve Portland Stone with John. I was really surprised at what I accomplished as a complete beginner. An amazing Celtic Knotwork relief carving. Which I proudly display on my mantelpiece. John passed on his passion and love of stone carving with great skill and patience. I'm hooked!"

"John is a fantastic artist and an exceptional teacher. He seems to really understand YOU, as an individual, and to give you exactly what you need to achieve your goals. Nothing is rushed -- everything is paced beautifully. Nothing is skipped -- you get all the knowledge and skill you need to get the results. And not only do you come away with a sense of accomplishment in the art you have created, more importantly, you also come away with an unshakeable CERTAINTY in the new set of skills you have acquired and the feeling that doors have opened into a whole new world of creativity. I highly recommend this workshop to all -- EVERYONE can benefit from this."

"I had a great day last summer on John's beginners carving course. John is a very patient and experienced tutor, explaining the various techniques to enable me to produce my first carving (which I got to take home). Thoroughly enjoyed it, give it a go and unlock your inner creativity!!"

"I did a workshop mid-June in Weymouth and really enjoyed it. The workstation was laid out well for easy usage. John was inspirational and very helpful as this was my first time. I brought home a piece of work that I’m very proud of and my wife loves. This course is definitely worth doing and is worthwhile”."

"I recently did a workshop with John, it was an amazing experience, John was so patient, and explained things in laymen terms. After two hours of chipping and Johns expert help I walked away with a beautiful yacht set in Portland stone. I can honestly say it’s probably one of the things I am most proud of. I defiantly will be going to another of Johns workshops."

"Having never done anything like this before, I was full of trepidation but Jonh was great. I learned so much, I went from beginner to smug in just a few hours. John gave me the tools to crest a satisfying carving. I would recommend this course to anyone. Thank you."

"A brilliant hands-on introduction to stone carving from a very talented teacher. The small classes and the individual tuition John brings to the course, allows you to express your inner self through the ancient art of stone carving. Highly recommended for the absolute beginner or someone who wants to develop a little further!"
