ARCHITECTURAL STONE CARVING COURSES
The City & Guilds of London Art School has a very long and deep history of teaching architectural stone carving, with students and graduates receiving many accolades, prizes and commissions.
BA (HONS) CARVING
The Architectural Stone Pathway of our BA (Hons) Carving is a comprehensive, three-year stone carving course that will prepare you for a fulfilling career in architectural heritage as a professional stone carver or sculptor.
Whether your ambition is to create new work in historic contexts or to restore sculpture and architectural ornament, your aesthetic and historical knowledge will be as important as your manual carving skills. On this course, you’ll develop a wide range of skills and will graduate fully equipped to begin a successful career.
This course is validated by our educational partner Ravensbourne University London.
From September 2024, this course will be validated by Arts University Bournemouth.
GRANTS AND BURSARIES
We offer a great range of grants and bursaries to students studying on our stone carving degree course. Bursaries vary in size but typically fund around 30 to 50% of the course fees and are awarded on the basis of need – find out more or contact admissions@cityandguildsartschool.ac.uk
DIPLOMA OF HIGHER EDUCATION
The two-year Diploma of Higher Education Carving: Architectural Stone, covers the same specialist syllabus as the first two years of the BA (Hons) programme. This provides a good alternative option if you would prefer to study for a shorter period or enhance existing skills and knowledge.
