Lettercarving in stone & lettering design: 5-day course
15-19 June 2026, Nant Hirwen, Powys, Wales
The ninth five-day design & carving course at this delightful venue in north-east Wales. The course is designed for those with some experience of lettering and/or carving, so will not suit complete beginners. It will include both design and carving, lunch is provided, and bunkhouse accommodation is available on site. Please contact me for more details.
Here are some photos from previous years showing the yard area where we carve if the weather is fine, and the kitchen/dining/designing room.
