Maison Dieu Grotesque.
9 May, 2023 – 3:17 pmI am so excited about my Summer of events. I will be demonstrating and selling my stone carvings and sculptures.
The sculpture that I will be carving this year is based on a grotesque from the Stone hall at the Maison Dieu in Dover in Kent.

Last month I was appointed the stonemason in residence for this magnificent and historically significant building.
At all the events that I am taking part in this year I will be carving this beastie. From my sketches and measurements, I have made a scale drawing and subsequent templates, my block of stone is marked up and ready to carve.

My next event is at the White Mill on the 13th/14th May. Come and watch me as I start the incredible journey of this magnificent beastie.
On the 27th May, I will be part of the Pilgrim’s trail though Dover.
