About this class
Experience a unique stone carving workshop in the inspiring ambiance of Rochlitzer Berg!
Over two weekends, under the guidance of experienced sculptor Erika Harbort, you will learn how to transform Saxony's distinctive red volcanic rock into your own work of art. Near the historic mining site, surrounded by deep railroad quarry and old beech forests, you will work creatively in nature in a small group. Whether with previous knowledge or as a newcomer — sculptures with character and lasting value are created here.
