Simon Keeley
Stone Carving
On this course you will follow through the whole process of stone carving, designing and carving your own piece. Simon describes and
demonstrates the basics of stone carving with clarity and humour. (Venue to be confirmed, it will be local to Condicote but not at Condicote Village Hall).
A bit about your tutor
Your tutor, Simon Keeley, has more than 15 years experience and has won various prestigious commissions for the Worshipful Company of Skinners, Westminster Abbey and School. He has also been involved in public artworks, which have been brick carving in Knightsbridge in London and East Oxford. He teaches stone and letter carving at ‘The Art Academy’ and West Dean College.
The following are some of the comments he has received:
"What a privilege it is to be taught by someone who has
great artistic expertise in his craft, and who is also an excellent
communicator." student - Silvia
"In my opinion he’s a great tutor who’s enthusiasm for the subject is completely infectious." student - Alan
"You don’t often get a teacher who fires you up ...he is one of those
special people who with his happy outgoing personality and positive
attitude encourages you to achieve more than you were capable of." student - Michael

Simon Keeley was selected to be a featured artist by the Channel 4 programme makers for Kirstie’s Home Made Home series 2.

We hope Simon will be doing another course with us in 2012
