Soapstone Workshop
One-day hands-on soapstone carving workshop for adults in a cosy brewery, tools and lunch included
Carve your own soapstone sculpture in a single day at Surfboat Brewery.
Guided step‑by‑step, you'll discover how a simple piece of soapstone can reveal beautiful colours, patterns and forms as you work with it.
Soapstone is soft and forgiving, making it a perfect introduction to stone carving - even if you've never sculpted before.
Treat yourself to a relaxed, creative day in a cosy brewery setting, with lunch included.
