Only 2 weeks left - come and learn from world-renowned sculptor, Brian Nyanhongo for a hands-on introduction to Zimbabwean stone carving.

Welcome to the One Day Sculpture Workshop with Brian Nyanhongo! This is a unique experience with the opportunity to leave with your own personalised sculpture.

Inspired by the environment he grew up in, Zimbabwean Brian Nyanhongo has made it his mission to maintain ancient tradition through his sculptures. Each one carrying a personal and spiritual value acting as the voice of his ancestors.

As well as his dream to create a local art school back home in Zimbabwe, he gains fulfilment from empowering individuals to:

· Learn a new skill

· Gain confidence and a sense of achievement

· Embody the therapeutic and rewarding emotions attached to creation

We urge you, whether you are artistically inclined or a complete beginner, to come and immerse yourself in this incredible experience, taking away not only your own sculpture but a deeper understanding of a different culture and ultimately a changed perspective.

Is this for you?

From these workshops you will encounter:

· Expert guidance, all the tools you need and a substantial stone sculpture to take home

· A unique Zimbabwean sculpture course

· Supporting an independent artist

· Exploration of culture and community

· Connection with natural materials

· Therapeutic process

· Personalised creation

What to expect:

One day gives you a grounded introduction to stone sculpting, expert guidance and the chance to shape your stone into a finished form, ready for further refinement.

Two days gives you more time to refine and polish your sculpture, bringing out the natural colour and character of the stone.

Three days allows you to really perfect your vision, with more time for fine details, smoothing and polishing. It’s also the best option if you’ve chosen a larger stone that needs a little more time to work on.

Regardless of what you book, we can guarantee the following:

· Explore the foundations of stone sculpting

· Choose and connect with your own natural stone all the way from Zimbabwe

· With expert guidance you can understand the stone, which sparks your creativity to see a design emerge from the rocks surface
