Letter-Cutting Courses

November 21, 2013 by Dunmanus

Learn traditional letter-carving skills under the tuition of an experienced stonecarver on West Cork’s Sheep’s Head peninsula.

Victor Daly leads regular letter-cutting and stone-carving courses at his workshop just outside the village of Ahakista on the Sheep’s Head peninsula in West Cork. His 1-day letter-cutting courses are held throughout the year. Please get in touch to arrange a course on a date that suits you. Stone-carving courses are also available.

Letter-Cutting Workshop Details

In this workshop, Victor will introduce you to the tools and basic techniques you’ll need to cut classical and contemporary letters in stone. Tools and materials will be provided, and you’ll work to complete a small letter-carving project which you can take home with you.

Tea, coffee and biscuits are included.
You will need to bring appropriate clothes, strong footwear, and a packed lunch.

Time: 9:30am-3:30pm
Price: €125 per person
