Stone Carving and Letter Cutting
Just to let those of you that are waiting, I will be writing a new post and putting up photos from the festival very soon.
It was a huge success again and the weather was amazing- I definately am going to do it again next year, so get those chisels sharpened and watch this space!!
This is a photo of me and my Phoenix!!

Hello everyone, just a quick one to say that I have put some new pictures on my gallery, hope you like my new work!
Here’s an update on the charity Stonemasons festival that I am organising.
It will take place on the 23rd/24th/25th May 2009. At The Harts Barn Craft Centre, Longhope, Gloucestershire. GL17 0QD.
Our charities will be; All Saints Church in Longhope, they are raising money for a restoration project, and The Cobalt Appeal, a cancer research charity.
The stone has been very kindly donated for a second year running, by Veizeys Quarry on the Avening Road near Tetbury-my favourite carving material.
There will be a hog roast and cider tent, these are both produced locally!!
There is a small admission charge, for individuals- £2.50 and families -£5.00, with a free programme.
Obviously all the favourites will be in the courtyard, including the fabulous Old Dairy Tearoom.
Just give me a shout if you would like any more information.
See you there!!
