The Dorset Stone Carver creates hand crafted bespoke memorials, sculptures, signage and stone work to commission. All work is undertaken by classically trained craftsperson; Ben Russell. Ben uses traditional tools and techniques alongside modern processes whilst working closely with the client to fully realise their vision in a timely and cost effective manner.

We also run stone carving and sculpture courses from our studio based in the rolling hills of the Marshwood Vale within the AONB of West Dorset.

We offer courses for all levels, from complete beginners looking to test the waters or just have some fun through to more experienced stone workers looking to hone their skills and everything in-between. We are also happy to tailor an experience to meet your needs or host away days for you and your colleagues.

Courses are taught using traditional tools and methods which have barely changed since medieval times. We feel it is so important to keep these skills alive and want to share our excitement for the craft with future generations. Stone carving is good for mind, body and soul!

Local towns Bridport, Lyme Regis and Charmouth are a stones throw away as is the world heritage site of the Jurassic coast with all its fossil hunting delights. Camping is available within a couple of minutes walk from the studio and there are also plenty of B&Bs, hotels and campsites within the surrounding area.
