Robin Corden reviewed: Stone carving for beginners - Weymouth

"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."

Sculptor John Davey responded:

"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"

Shell & Graham reviewed: Stone carving for beginners - Weymouth

"Really Enjoyed this Beginner’s Stone Carving Course today! John, himself a Master Stone Mason, was very knowledgeable and attentive. Neither my husband or I had any experience whatsoever in stone carving and were over the moon that our days achievements were very pleasing on the eye. Thank You John! We had a lovely day and will be purchasing some equipment of our own and having a go. Would defo recommend giving this course a go!!!"

Sculptor John Davey responded:

"Hello Shell and Graham, many thanks for the feedback. I didn't mean to be a hard taskmaster, I will definitely suggest a small break in the afternoon. It is tiring. You both did brilliantly and took on many of the skills for carving your stones. Lettering is really the hardest technique to learn and you both should really be chuffed to what you achieved in such a short time. Looking forward to seeing them painted and in place. Kind regards John."

Imogen Whyte reviewed: Stone carving for beginners - Weymouth

"I bought the experience for my boyfriend as a Christmas gift and he had the best time. As a complete beginner, I was very impressed by what he managed to create in just a few hours. He said that John was an excellent teacher and he loved being able to pick his own design and get creative with it. The setting was absolutely beautiful overlooking the water and sailboats, and thankfully the weather did not disappoint. Thank you John for providing him with a highly enjoyable and memorable experience!"

Sculptor John Davey responded:

"Hello Imogen, Will was a great student. Attentive and a quick learner. I really enjoyed passing on my knowledge. Lets hope the cricket team make it into the next league. Regards John. "
