BIG's Sculptor-in-Residence Andrew McAlistair Hood runs free, weekly Stone Sculpting workshop sessions to diverse volunteers. His ultimate objective with them is to create British Islamic art pieces using only salvaged/reclaimed stone.

This is the only community project of this kind in the UK.

For more information about Andrew and his work with BIG, visit his website.

If you would like to support our work, we are currently funding for our Islamic Art Stone Sculpting Centre.

To date we have received funding to support the construction of one stone bench. If you would like to sponsor other artwork for the site, please contact BIG.
