Stone Carving Festivals And Events
|
Stone carving workshops for the big festivals and events is more like a have a go session for medium to large crowds. The predesigned sculpture is very simple and it takes about 15 to 20 minutes to complete. This is good as sometimes there are many people waiting in line. |

Workshop Layout
The workshops are structured for adults and children and it is great when parents work together with their children on one piece. Some of the stone is pre-cut to make it easier for very little children.
About 160 people will get to carve an Oamaru stone sculpture in the four hour period.
Stone carving workshops are a great idea for large public events and all types of fairs and festivals.
Smaller Events
If you are running a smaller event with less crowds and it is expected to be more relaxed than the large events. We can create a workshop that has more designs to choose from plus the size of the stone can be a little larger but less blocks are provided for that event.
Where are they held
Stone carving workshops are held in the city of Christchurch or around the Canterbury region.
How much does it cost
