Sculpt in stone
Course for children and adult security personnel
1-2 July 2025
Part of Capellagården's summer course program is aimed at children who want to take a creative course together with an adult security person. A security person can be a parent, mother/grandparent or other important adult in the child's life. The course emphasizes playfulness, curiosity and creative joy and is aimed at both children and adults. The child's process is in focus and the adult participates in the course on the child's terms.
In the Sculpting in stone course, we learn the basics of shaping stones with hand tools. We will learn how the hand tools work, practice cutting techniques and work with the surface of the stone. During the course, the participants themselves will shape a sculpture in alabaster. For those who want, there will also be an opportunity to try carving in Öland limestone. Everything created during the course can be taken home.
The course runs over two days from 9 am to 3 pm with joint breaks for coffee and lunch. What we create, we get to take home with us, of course.
Recommended age of the child is 8 to 12 years.
No prior knowledge is required.

The course fee is SEK 2,700 for a child and an adult.
