Beth reviewed: Stone carving for beginners - Weymouth

"Me and my partner had a fantastic time learning from the talented John. Through regular demonstrations, 1 to 1 advice and a keen eye kept on everyone, we got to grips with the new skill very quickly and both achieved something we were proud of. We were well looked after and were offered regular tea breaks, chit chats and an ice cream throughout the day. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would do again - thanks! "

Sculptor John Davey responded:

"Thanks for your kind words Beth. You and Will were very attentive and natural stone carvers. Great work. Bravo. Hope Stanley was happy as well."

"The course was absolutely wonderful. John is a brilliant teacher. His instruction and guidance helped me to carve something quite beautiful. What I was able to carve in the time really surprised me. It has left me eager to acquire tools and do more carving."

"Hello Robin many thanks for your kind words. It's always a pleasure to pass on my passion for stonecarving. If you need tools I use southern stone you can mention my name. Take care get chipping. John"
