Stone Carving: Green Man
The Course
A two-day workshop teaching participants how to mark out, rough out and finish a Green Man design in Bath stone. The course will give people the opportunity to either carve their own design or carve one using a template. The course will also cover carving techniques, sharpening and where to buy tools and stone. By the end of the course participants will have a finished carving.

Participant Information
The course is limited to six participants, who will receive practical tuition and hands-on experience.
