The workshop fee includes the first stone. Additional stone can be purchased at low cost. The minimum stay is five workshop days.
Carvers are encouraged to bring their hammer and chisels, but a full range of hand tools will be available, including polishing pads and finishing compounds.

The workshop is hosted by the beautiful and tranquil Le Jardin, a private walled garden 2 km from town.
