Our aim is to keep the art of carving stone by hand alive and bring it to the general public. We teach a foundation course for beginners with no experience and always welcome new members.

Thank you to all who supported the 2023 Stone Carving Festival. It was a fantastic weekend filled with 40 carvers from across the UK and Europe, excellent live music, entertainers, fantastic food, stone carving demos, Southern Stone Stall, Steven Travis Tools and blacksmithing demos by Rudi Holmes. We would particularly like to thank all those that supported the auction of artwork, Halifax Minster for hosting the event and Marshalls for providing the excellent quality stone. Further details are under the ‘news’ tab.
