Lettercarving in stone & lettering design
Summer 2025
Powys, Wales  
Tutor: John Neilson

The seventh five-day design & carving course at this delightful venue in north-east Wales took place 17-21 June 2024. The theme was ‘italic’ and the weather was perfect. I plan to run another course here in 2025. Dates not yet determined.
Bunkhouse accommodation is available at the course venue, or there are other B&B and self-catering options in the local area. The number of participants is limited to 10. I am not yet taking bookings but if you would like to register an interest for next year’s course please contact me.

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.
