Our 30th Year
The 2024 Southwest Stone Carving Association Workshop is set to take place on April 26th, 27th, and 28th. We extend a warm welcome to both beginner and novice carvers, as well as intermediate and advanced practitioners. Our workshop boasts distinguished and widely recognized professional instructors, providing a unique opportunity for all participants to craft something exceptional. The agenda will cover a spectrum of topics, including safety measures, tool utilization, stone geology, stone selection, as well as both basic and advanced carving techniques.
For accommodation, there are numerous hotels and motels to choose from in Hobbs, NM, along with camping options at Harry McAdams State Park. We recommend making reservations in advance, as Hobbs hosts special events throughout the year, which can occasionally make accommodations challenging to secure.
