Stone Carving Class

Every Wednesday 10-12PM

Develop your carving skills!

Learn to carve stone using traditional hand tools! Using just a hammer and chisel you will enjoy the satisfaction of turning a piece of raw Oamaru stone into a wonderful creation for your garden or for indoors. Classes are held in the stone carving yard, which is in front of the Community Woodwork Shed at Rowley Resource Centre. 

• The cost is dependent on the size of stone that you will need to create your masterpiece. It will be a small cost.
• The classes are run every Wednesdays at Rowley Resource Centre during school term only, between 10am – 12pm. 
• Classes are kept small and limited due to space restrictions. 
• All tools will be provided.
• Ideal for those with little or no stone carving experience, however all are welcome.
