Led by stone carving expert and tutor Simon Keeley, this one-day beginner’s workshop gives you the opportunity to explore and try out Barbara Hepworth's stone carving techniques. Using Bath limestone, a material that would have been available to Hepworth, you will carve your own single form to take away with you. All materials and entry to Barbara Hepworth: Sculpture for a Modern World are included.
