Passing on knowledge to the next generation holds a special place in my work. In my stonemasonry workshops and masterclasses, I introduce you to an ancient craft that emerged in prehistoric times and is now dying out.

The workshop is designed to give complete beginners a safe, creative introduction to working with stone, learning basic stonemasonry techniques in a simple and enjoyable way. You take home a unique memento that will outlast even your grandchildren.

How the workshop works

  1. 1 The theory: learn more about types of stone and the mysterious world of colours that change as the stone is worked. We look at stone pieces and listen to the sound of its strength.
  2. 2 The practical part: under my guidance, you carve your initial or a simple shape into a stone tile.
  3. 3 Take your unique memento home.

What’s included

  • A guided, hands-on workshop.
  • Protective equipment and carving tools.
  • A unique memento to take home.

Who it’s for

  • Stone enthusiasts who would like to learn more about the craft of stonemasonry.
  • Craft enthusiasts and anyone who enjoys making things.
  • Individuals, families and groups.
  • Children: carving an initial is also part of birthday parties and holiday camps at Posest Magnolija.
