Gareth Morris reviewed: Yorkshire Rose stone carving class

"Excellent one day course creating a Yorkshire Rose. Helen was an excellent tutor, just hands-on enough to keep me on track but hands-off enough to make me feel it was all my own work. And it looks just like the picture! I’ve signed up for the 8 week foundation course and I feel that I may well have found a new hobby."

The West Riding Stonecarving Association responded:

"That's great Gareth,I'm glad you enjoyed it enough to want to learn more and maybe start a new hobby. Thank you for the review. "

Shaun Laycock reviewed: Yorkshire Rose stone carving class

"A brilliant day out I had a fantastic time at the Yorkshire rose stone carving class. It was definitely harder than it looks but that made it all the more satisfying. The day was relaxed and the teaching excellent - patient, clear, and encouraging throughout. Whether you’re a complete beginner like me or have some experience, it’s a great hands on way to try something different and challenging. "
