Lecce stone carving workshop
Work the city's own stone and take home the piece you make.
What you do
Lecce is built from its own pale, soft stone. In this workshop you hold it in your hands and try working it yourself, with the right tools and someone to show you how.
There are two options. The basic one lasts an hour and starts at 11am. The advanced one lasts two hours, starts at 5pm and is for those who want to go further.
Either way, the piece you make is yours to take home. You can book on your own.
By bike
With the 11am basic session you have the afternoon free to ride: I prepare a self-guided route with GPX and roadbook starting from Lecce. With the advanced 5pm session you flip it: ride all day, then come back into town to work the stone.
Curious to see where the stone comes from? The masseria visit in Vernole also takes in a Lecce stone quarry. Pick up and return the bike for free at via Ribezzo 2D; during the workshop it stays locked with the lock we provide.
