Lettercarving in stone & lettering design
Monday 16 – Friday 20 June 2025
Powys, Wales  
Tutor: John Neilson

This will be the eighth five-day design & carving course at this delightful venue in north-east Wales. The course is intended for those with some experience of lettering and lettercarving and so will not suit complete beginners. There will be a loose overall theme (yet to be decided). We will cover both design and carving, but the proportion of these is flexible. The number of participants is limited to 10.
A delicious lunch, tea, coffee, etc are provided. Self-catering bunkhouse accommodation is available at the course venue, or there are other B&B and self-catering options in the local area. If you would like to know more, or make a booking, 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.
