🪨 Join us for a hands-on introduction to relief carving with locally quarried Tenino sandstone!

For more than a century, Tenino sandstone has been an important part of the region’s architecture and craft. It can be found in historically significant buildings and sculptures throughout the West Coast - including Olympia’s old Courthouse and former Federal building.

In this beginning-level class, you’ll learn the fundamentals of working stone with mallet and chisel. Students can explore decorative relief or even incorporate letter carving into their designs!

No previous stonecarving experience is required.
