Yes.
Was a week's solid carving, 9 -6. More tuition than classes - after an hour
or so explaining how to use the basic tools everybody just got on with it,
but there was an experienced stone carver to give technical advice and an
artist to give inspirational advice. Could wander round the quarry and
choose blocks of stone you fancied.
A lovely place to work, full of carvings to inspire (almost a sculpture
park) and a pleasant island to stay on, with evening events organised some
days for those who wanted.
And a lovely stone to work with - recommend it.
