and Limestone

The first extended weekend with a May date and again in October we have a three day stone carving workshop in Lawrence , Kansas .  It takes place at Myles' studio.  This picturesque "mountain" ( everything is relative )  setting in the country is just outside historic Lawrence and an hour from Kansas City .  This workshop is geared for beginners and intermediate carvers although all are welcome.

For a low fee to cover costs (generally $ 145. to $ 195. for the entire workshop) you are provided with all the materials, plenty of electric and air power, and lessons throughout the three days from several instructors.  Since the workshop is limited to 36 attendees, there is plenty of personal assistance, if you want it.  Certainly, there is excellent companionship and sharing.

General Class Schedule

    Friday:              Stone selection, carving ergonomics, and "roughing out"
    Saturday:          Roughing, practice with hand and power tools, approaching details
    Sunday:            Detail carving, finishing and polishing

There are approximately three short classes per day on the above and other topics.

Meals and Accommodations
We have a “get together” dinner on Saturday night. You provide all other meals yourself which is easy as grocers and restaurants are 12 minutes away.     There are several motels within 15 minutes of the studio.  They are in the Super 8 price range. (A list can be provided  upon registration.)
