Create your own unique work of art

Even if you’ve never picked up a chisel before, you’ll take away a work of art you’ll be proud of at the end of your two-day stone carving course at the Ticket Office Studio. You’ll enjoy good company, great food, and expert guidance from David.

The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, and everyone is encouraged to work at their own pace. This is a creative carving course so everyone will create their own design - you can either come along with an idea you’d like to create, or David will help you find inspiration.

We’ll provide the stone, all the tools you need, plus safety goggles and an apron.

During the course, we enjoyed David's and Kaye's hospitality, and thoroughly enjoyed our lunches during the weekend. I absolutely recommend a course with David, if you are seeking something you haven't tried before and wish to learn in such a relaxed and hospitable environment. We are planning a return visit already "

My son and I went on a stone carving course at The Ticket Office with Dave King. It was a lovely way to spend 2 days creating pieces we're really proud of. Kaye cooked delicious food throughout the day and the whole experience was so relaxing. Fab !
