Lynda Harris reviewed: Stone Carving Workshop

"This was an excellent course and we achieved so much more than expected largely due to Olly giving everyone the confidence to believe we could do it. Both Olly and Rosina were excellent hosts and Rosina must have worked really hard to provide us with wonderful food and plenty to keep us hydrated. Olly is an excellent teacher, motivating and patient and always good humoured. I don't know what I expected but this course gave me a real insight into stone carving and a lovely example of the craft to bring home and display. Very many thanks to both."

"I attended a two day stone carving course with Oliver Coe. I thought the course was excellent. We learnt so many new skills and techniques. The setting was exceptional and it's a good team effort with Oliver and Rosina co-ordinating the day like clockwork. I have already expressed an interest in attending another course."

"An excellent course - well designed for beginners, or more experienced people in the industry. Everyone left with a new set of skills and a lovely personal carving. I feel I can now use the skills I learned and work on making some of my own carvings at home. I think it's quite an achievement that Olly managed to get everyone up to that standard in just 2 days. Thanks!"

"A great weekend course. Really good introduction to letter formation, how to draw and set out and letter cut. Enjoyed the mix of theory and practical, and had enough time to try letter cutting on slate and limestone. Friendly and encouraging tutoring, and delicious food! Many thanks to Olly and Rosi"

"Excellent course for anyone wishing to take up stone carving. Oliver provided excellent tuition and encouragement and we all went away with a carving to be proud of and the enthusiasm to carry on. Fantastic home cooked lunches and snacks, good facilities and a brilliant atmosphere. I would highly recommend it."
