The simple ancient techniques of hammer and fire are as direct a process as stone carving is in the making of sculpture.

This workshop explores the use of metal in the making of sculpture, and is centered around the use of the forge and the malleability of hot metal. Basic instruction in welding and cutting techniques will also be part of the course.
This is an ideal workshop for beginners, but also offers much to people with some experience of the material.
This year, we have expanded the course to 4 days to enable enough time for a sculpture to be drawn and made and to take home a finished original piece of your own.

Course Sculpting the Head
"This is my second visit to Simon and Anna (previously stone) and I cannot commend or recommend these courses highly enough. The whole process was hugely, monstrously enjoyable - a total immersive creative experience. This comes with, if you haven't done the course or this work before, a surprising excitement and adrenaline 'buzz' as you develop your work. Simon tutors you through the sculpting challenge with a style subtly tailored to your needs at that time, and the whole course is relaxed, friendly and great fun. His style is directional when required but observational and supportive to allow you the necessary time to learn from your close observation of the subject and your inevitable need to refine your work. All this is married to a location which is beautiful, relaxed and inspiring, and Anna's superb food and generous hospitality. Finally, and I think this is very, very valuable - you leave the course with an indelible imprint of Simon's enthusiasm and real encouragement to continue practising and developing when you return home".
