Student Stonemason Continued Success

Peter Loizou's stone carving success continues as he gets 2nd place in the apprentice/student category of the annual European Stone Festival. This year's festival was held in Freiburg, Germany and saw 150 masons taking part over the two days of the festival.

Weymouth College's lecturers Richard Mortimer and Darren Lawrence and the Dorset Skills Centre manager Mark Woodward took 10 stonemasonry students along to the event. Mark Woodward commented: "It was an extremely beneficial trip for the students who gained valuable experience in terms of working different stones than they are used to and making future contacts in the industry."
