Stone engraving: discover the craft by experimenting with gesture and material
During this workshop, you will discover and experiment with stone engraving by personalizing and decorating a stone support, with adequate tools and the advice of a stone engraver passionate about his craft.
Denis has been working with stone for 30 years, carving, sculpting and engraving. He works on our heritage on a daily basis.
He offers you to engrave a word, a first name, as you wish, on a soft limestone plaque. The work is done entirely by hand: during this experience, you will discover how the tool is only an extension of the gesture on the material; you will tame this material! A total satisfaction that will make you want to continue the experience at home very easily because you need little material to repeat the gesture!
And if time permits, you can complete the work by engraving a small additional ornament!
