As well as running Elysium, founder Kate Semple is a sculptor and also teaches stone carving at her studio. She has just launched a new website for her courses, so we thought it would be a good opportunity to show what else we get up to.

Stone carving can be a great way to lose yourself in this wonderful, creative, process and has proved a great therapy for many of her students. She has a very loyal customer base, with some of her students coming back year after year.

She never ceases to be amazed by the work that is produced by beginners who come to learn about stone carving and sculpture with Kate at The Stone Carving Studio
