WELCOME TO FARNHAM SCULPTURE
- WOOD AND STONE CARVING GROUP -
We are a friendly group of wood and stone carvers. We work in an attractive, well equipped studio within the Farnham Pottery buildings in Wrecclesham, Farnham. Our membership includes both experienced carvers who exhibit and sell locally and beginners who enjoy being in creative, supportive company. We also offer a small programme of workshops and classes not just in stone and wood carving, but also in other complementary craft disciplines too.
Our Roots
Six keen wood and stone carvers founded Farnham Sculpture in 2003 in a small unit in Farnham Pottery. As our membership grew we moved to our current studio where facilities include purpose built benches, wood vices and some tools that members may use in the studio.
Our MEMBERS
The group is run by a committee of members and is non profit making. Membership currently costs £40 a month and for this there is unlimited* access to the studio, including weekends. We haven’t increased our membership pricing for quite some years and don’t intend to yet, instead we’d like to ensure that we can offer the space to as many people as possible for the most affordable rates that we can.
Our studio is heated and tea/coffee are provided. If you would like to visit us with a view to becoming a member, we would love to welcome you. Please get in touch with us for an informal chat. (*when workshops and courses are not running.)
COURSES, WORKSHOPS, teaching and space for hire
After a great start in our offering of workshops, we have decided to take a break in offering these for the time being and concentrate in supporting those that use the workshop for their own practice. but watch this space, or sign up to our newsletter for future plans.
If you are interested in hiring our space to hold your own workshop or course, or would be interested in joining us as a tutor, please do get in touch. We’d love to have a chat!
As new workshops are scheduled, they will be listed in our ‘Courses & Workshops’ section for you to book. If you would like to find out more, please sign up to our mailing list.
EXHIBITIONS
Over the years we have participated in Surrey Open Studios, put on exhibitions for Heritage Open Days (Farnham Pottery is a listed building), Craft Town, Christmas Markets and Rowledge Village Fayre. All members are encouraged to show their work.
