We are fast approaching our busiest time of the year.... the run up (to Christmas 😆) gets crazier every year.

Our Stone Carving Kits are a popular choice: We have something for everyone!
- Starter kits: a childrens starter kit, doodle kit in collaboration with
- Relief carving kits: choose from an oak leaf/tudor rose/green man
- 3D carving kits: gargoyle/owl/squirrel/mushroom
- Lettering: a basic or an advanced kit
- Kits to be used with .gee_ 's vine kit
- Kits to be used with 's course
- Masonry: ovolo kit

The majority of our kits have been designed with the same tools, so it makes it really easy to go on to the next project once you have finished the first one (as stone carving is pretty addictive). So once you have a set, you can then buy the stone block and instructions for the new design.

These really do make great gifts (for yourself or others) and we love to see the finished results from the kits too. Whether you are a complete beginner, or have had a go at stone carving before, the kits will have everything to complete your carving.

Due to the stone weight, these are sent out via courier and well packaged to prevent damage during transit.

We are based in the U.K and can send these overseas. Due to the weight for some items, we may need to obtain a bespoke delivery quote. If no delivery option is available when ordering, please contact us directly [email protected]
