Chris Tervit reviewed: Private Tuition in Sculpture, Stone or Marble Carving, Letter Carving and Relief with Simon Burns-Cox

"Simon was just brilliant. I cannot recommend this experience enough. As a complete novice I benefitted from Simon's wealth of experience and passion. He took me through the basics and I left with a beautiful stone piece that I will treasure. The cafe at the Sculpture studios was the perfect spot for us to chat and eat/drink its delicious offerings. "

Simon Burns-Cox Sculptor and Letter Carver responded:

"Hello Chris, very many thanks for your kind review and it was great to meet you and I am glad you enjoyed the day. Do hope the carving goes well and if you require anything else just let me know. Best wishes Simon"

Katy Salisbury reviewed: Private Tuition in Sculpture, Stone or Marble Carving, Letter Carving and Relief with Simon Burns-Cox

"I learned a huge amount from my one-day course with Simon - he really helped me understand the nature of different types of stone and which equipment and techniques to use to achieve a range of effects. I was delighted with the small carving I produced and was so inspired that I opted to buy a set of tools! I now feel confident to try to tackle some designs on my own. "

Simon Burns-Cox Sculptor and Letter Carver responded:

"Hello Katy, thank you so much for your kind review. It was lovely to meet you and I thought you did incredibly well and produced a lovely relief in one day ! Do hope the carving goes well and if you need any further help, please do not hesitate to contact me."

He has a great way of explaining how different types of stone can be used and affect the approaches used. I would highly recommend booking instruction from Simon if you are at all curious about stone carving."

I’d certainly recommend the course and hope to do another workshop sometime. Thanks for the recommendation!"
