Stone Carving


An Introductory Course for Beginners...


Harpsford Mill Farm Workshop, Bridgnorth
Tutor: Robert Maxfield


Harpsford Mill Farm workshop is set in the tranquil Shropshire countryside just two miles from the centre of the historic market town of Bridgnorth. This picturesque setting provides the perfect backdrop for this 3-day ‘taster’ course in the ancient art of stone carving.

Tutor Robert Maxfield will expertly lead you through the process of working stone, covering centuries-old techniques whilst allowing your artistic talents free reign to produce your very own unique piece of work. Group numbers are limited for each course so that each student can benefit fully from Roberts’ wealth of experience and friendly guidance.

All materials, tools, safety equipment* and insurance needed for the course will be provided, with refreshments on hand throughout each day. We are also able to put together an accommodation package to complete your holiday with options for touring caravans and camping available on-site at Harpsford Mill Farm. Alternatively we would be happy to assist you in finding alternative accommodation in Bridgnorth where there are many excellent hotels and friendly B&B’s.

*we would ask that you wear sturdy footwear for the course
