July 21, 2017 12:00 pm to 5:30 pm. This three-day event is a unique opportunity to interact with professional carvers, artisans and enthusiasts as they turn blocks of limestone into one-of-a-kind works of art using traditional methods.Stone carvers from Canada, the U.S. and Europe will congregate to display their skills and creativity. Using hand tools only, participants will have 18 hours over three days to complete their pieces. The public is invited to enjoy the sights and sounds of this traditional work site and to engage with the carvers. On the afternoon of July 23, all pieces will be auctioned to the public, with proceeds being donated to Ottawa Innercity Ministries.The Canadian Stone Carving Festival is not a competition and is open to carvers of all levels of experience from beginner to professional.
