Soapstone Workshop

Carve your own soapstone sculpture in a single day at Surfboat Brewery. Guided step‑by‑step, you’ll discover how a simple piece of soapstone can reveal beautiful colours, patterns and forms as you work with it. Soapstone is soft and forgiving, making it a perfect introduction to stone carving - even if you’ve never sculpted before. Treat yourself to a relaxed, creative day in a cosy brewery setting, with lunch included. What you'll get • Your own piece of soapstone to carve. • All materials are provided to use, including carving tools (rasps and rifflers), sandpaper and wax. • Small group workshop with hands-on guidance throughout. • Lunch provided (select from the Surfboat Brewery menu, meals valued up to $20).
