Learn about stone in its place of origin. Our workshops are designed for all levels of experience, from absolute beginner to professional. For many people who come to carve for the first time, the experience of working in the open air workshops -- surrounded by sea, sky and unlimited stone -- has been a powerful stimulus for the imagination, leading to the discovery of new forms within their work. Location: Portland, UK. Date: May to October every year.

His work is in the permanent collection of the MOMA in Kyoto and in private and corporate collections worldwide. Kincannon, a guild certified master carver, was lead stone carver at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in NYC for 11 years.
