Cat's Eye Carving

Heritage Open Day

In my role as the Stonemason in Residence for The Maison Dieu, I am invited to run activities and demonstrations. At this years Heritage Open weekend, I was invited to demonstrate stone carving and give the general public the chance to try it for themselves.

The other heritage crafts that have been part of this re-awakening project were demonstrating their skills and giving the general public an opportunity to try their hand as well.

This company have been lovingly restoring the wall art in the Maison Dieu.

This is one of the many beautiful paintings that have been restored, this was being cleaned for people to watch.

Engaging the next generation of creative individuals is incredibly important.

I also took part in a wonderful day of stone carving activities in the Autumn half term, in the Biggin Hall with the Future Foundry, a recently arts council funded group, to help bring creative activities to the youth community in Dover.
