Description

Located in a picturesque Forest of Dean in rural Gloucestershire, Oakraven Field Centre is the venue for a series of stone carving workshops rum by the Stonemasons Guild. The Stonemasons Guild. The stonemasons Guild boasts a team of talented stonemasons and sculptors, led by the guilds Master Stephen L'Normand, who will provide expert tuition throughout your full three day course. Gargoyles, grotesque and hunkypunks have been protecting us from evil for centuries. In the case of gargoyles they also have a very down to earth purpose. They can be frightening, comical or naturalistic and now it's your chance to carve your own. Whether you wish to carve one to your own design or copy and adapt one from a church or cathedral we will help you towards your finished piece. If required please bring any drawings, maquettes, ideas, sketch book and pencils. Running in conjunction with our one day courses, our three day course allows time for a larger or more detailed piece.
