"Thanks so much for the expert tuition. I had a really great day and completed something I never thought possible. No-one at home will believe I actually made it myself! Thanks once again"

One day workshop with Stephan Gilberg.

Learn how to carve your own personal piece under the expert tuition of Stephan, the Nelson Bonecarver. Starting with a rough piece of beef bone you'll go through all the different stages of creating your carving to the smooth finished product. By the end of the day's workshop you'll have your very own unique gift from NZ.

Based in Stephan's studio, you'll work with a small, informal group. Materials and professional tools are provided. Stephan offers you as much guidance as you need and has a range of samples for inspiration. No experience necessary.
