Letter Stone Carving Workshop

During this one-day beginner's letter cutting practical workshop in stone, you will learn from tutor Will Spankie the art how to draw, mark out, and carve letters in a piece of Portland stone. Using hand tools we will concentrate on the practical aspects of cutting the letters, as well as how to source the stone and tools, chisel sharpening and finishing the letters we carve. Although hand lettercutting is a skill which takes years to master Will aims to give people what they need to start that journey. All materials you use during the day are fully sustainable, and included in the price.

There will be an opportunity to wander the gardens from 7pm, with a three-course Greek feast being served from 7.45pm, and an opportunity to dance the night away from later in the evening. There will be plenty of choice for vegans, vegetarians and carnivores.

Old Herbaceous

Old Herbaceous is the humorous love story of a single-minded yet gentle man with a passion for plants; the legendary Head Gardener, Herbert Pinnegar. He invites you to feel included in a private chat from a bygone, comforting age, keeping you engrossed, amused and emotionally engaged from start to finish. An acute and sometimes hilarious observation of relationships between the classes in a simpler age, Old Herbaceous is sprinkled with witticisms and epithets. The evening blossoms into tender humour, much in the traditionally understated English style of the early 20th century.
