Shona Stone Carving with Hilary Manuhwa at Cotswold Sculpture Park

Shona Stone Carving with Hilary Manuhwa at Cotswold Sculpture Park

Learn the traditional craft of Shona stone carving with Hilary Manuhwa, a master stone carver who joins us all the way from Zimbabwe. In this hands-on creative weekend, Hilary will guide you through the process of carving your own artwork, from start to finish, demonstrating techniques and offering 1 to 1 assistance. Shona stone carving is a globally renowned art movement originating from Zimbabwe, characterized by hand-carved sculptures that blend Shona spiritual beliefs with depictions of family, nature, and folklore. Primarily crafted from serpentine springstone, and verdite, these sculptures are often abstract or stylized, frequently polishing the stone to a high sheen while leaving raw, textured sections for contrast. This workshop will take place in the heart of our sculpture park, surrounded by artwork and nature. This is an opportunity to learn new skills in a serene and inspiring environment under the guidance and support of a master craftsman. All materials and tools are provided. No previous experience needed. Contact Katie at to reserve your space. More details on the Cotswold Sculpture Park website

More about The Green

Buckinghamshire, England

The Green sits comfortably in Buckinghamshire with a quiet charm that never feels quite so sleepy it stops being fun. Without a list of local venues to shout about, the town relies on its community spirit and the odd pop-up market that appears when the weather turns golden. It is a place where neighbours know each other's names and the local café always seems to have a seat free for a chat. Events drift in from time to time, bringing a bit of outside noise without disturbing the peace too much. You might stumble upon a fair or a performance that happens to be happening nearby, making it easy to spend an afternoon without leaving the parish. Near Here keeps track of what is going on so you do not have to hunt through half a dozen websites just to find out if there is anything worth seeing this weekend.
