Multi-Day Workshop Passes: West Cork Stone Symposium

€115.00 – €200.00

Unleash your creativity at the West Cork Stone Symposium as you learn from stone masons, carvers, and sculptors whose work carries ancient traditions into the future!

Multi-Day Workshop Passes give you the best opportunity to immerse yourself in the work of the symposium. Work alongside expert dry stone wallers and stone carvers from across Ireland and Europe, and you'll learn skills and techniques you can use for many years to come.

Note: the Two Day Combined Pass will admit you to one stone-carving workshop and one dry stone walling workshop. We will notify before the event about which workshop you’ll be allocated to on which day. This will allow us to accommodate as many participants as possible over the weekend.

Location: All workshops will take place in and around the village of Durrus at the head of the Sheep’s Head peninsula, in West Cork.

Optional Extras

Photography*
I understand that photographs will be taken at the event, and I am happy for them to be used in future publicity by organisations working to promote tourism in West Cork. We do not use bad photos! And, if you say no, we will make sure your photos aren't used at all.
- Yes, I am happy for my image to be used
- No, I would prefer my images not to be used
Minimising Waste*
- I will bring my own gloves ( dry stone wall)
- I will bring my own goggles (carving)
- I will borrow and return festival equipment to help reduce waste
Though we do 'leave a trace' on the land with our wall, we are commmitted to reducing plastic waste and you can help by bringing your own gloves and goggles if you have them. We will have equipment available if that doesn't work for you.
