Description
Spend a relaxing deep in the heart of the beautiful Scottish Borders at my rustic workshop.I teach small groups of complete beginners the gentle craft of stone-carving. No experience or artistic ability needed, just enthusiasm and curiosity. At the end of our time together you will be amazed at what you have created!
