Discover the ancient art of stone lettercarving

Join Wayne, a master of stone carving, in his incredible North London workshop. Guided by Wayne's expertise, you will learn about the history of the ancient stone carving art form, and create your own unique piece to take home on the day.

Your journey begins with an introduction to the art of letter carving. Wayne has extensively studied this subject and shares his insights into the techniques and fascinating history behind the age-old craft. 

As the workshop unfolds, participants will be presented with printouts showing various typography styles. Inspired by these styles, both modern and traditional, you'll choose one that resonates most with your vision.

Next, you'll start the process of bringing your chosen letter to life. Guided by Wayne, you'll sketch the letter on paper, carefully studying its shape and form. With your new gained confidence, you'll transfer your design onto the stone, either freehand or with the help of a stencil, ensuring perfect attention to detail.

With a hammer and chisel, it's time to start the transformative skill of carving! You will gradually shape and refine your letter, enjoying the satisfaction as your design comes together. Under Wayne's watchful eye, you'll learn how to carefully control the tools, improving your skills with each stroke.

Letter carving is a meticulous art that requires time and patience. During the workshop, you'll have the opportunity to create one or two letters, ensuring a focus on quality and mastery. The morning will be dedicated to the drawing process, then you will experience the skill of carving in the afternoon.

At the end of the workshop, you'll take home more than knowledge, skills and new connections. You'll carry with you a testament to your creative day—a personal letter carved from stone.
