A voyage of discovery.
Stones and rocks are the territory and you are the explorer!

My ambition for each Workshop participant is that you discover what delights and inspires you
Then with guidance and simple techniques you create something unique to you
by simply following the stone and what it suggests

Do you love minimalist, smooth, subtle stones. Are you excited by pattern or quirkiness, by holes or crevices? Do you love it all!!

Do you see faces… heart shapes…patterns?

Does the stone resemble a map?
Always a popular theme.
I will show you simple ways to create a map/globe, how to easily draw a compass, and the techniques for creating my ‘Night Skies’ (See pictures)

Does it have intriguing nooks and crannies?

Whatever you see I will guide you in adorning your stone, adding your own stamp
This Workshop will build your confidence by inspiring, encouraging and supporting you in finding your interpretation for each stone
It is an advantage but not essential to have some drawing skills for this Workshop
