SVQLevel II & III Stonemasonry
HNC Student Profile
I worked with stone on an arts projectandenjoyeditsomuchthatI wanted to study the material in much more depth.
In a way, I’ve gone full circle - I studied to be an architect several years ago, but decided it wasn’t for me and moved in to photography instead. I didn’t want to work on buildings via a computer, but rather hands-on with building materials from a craft perspective.
I’ve come on to the stonemasonry course at Glasgow Met as a mature student through the adult apprenticeship scheme. It took me two years to find an employer- you need to have an employer to sponsor you through the course - but I got there eventually! It’s been worth the wait - everything we’ve covered so far is very relevant to the work place which is one of the key reasons why I picked this course inthefirstplace.Ihaveparticularlyenjoyed learning how to cut anddress stone.
I want to be a properly trained, fully qualified stonemason and knowthat this course will certainly give me that as well as help me on my new career path.

Student Profile
Aileen GrahamArt & Design Portfolio PreparationI’ve always been interested in art and design and had always wanted to do a class. So, I googled art classes; I read over the details about this class and it seemed absolutely perfect. And it was! I loved being back in the classroom and the class also had a good mix of people. It was fantastic to have the freedom to visually express myself and I got to develop my portfolio. I am moving on to the Contemporary Painting Practices course next term. Looking further ahead, I would like to go to Art School and make a career of art.

Steven GrahamDecorative GlassI’ve had a long standing interest in Art and Architecture which made me aware of this unique medium. Although I was already aware of this particular evening course, it was an ex student of the course that convinced me to apply. The course has provided the ideal opportunity to learn and practice decorative glass skills whilst being in full time employment and having family responsibilities. There is a real community spirit amongst my fellow students and I thoroughly enjoy how the course is taught. I now have a greater appreciation of decorative glass skills and expertise and am much more aware of its full possibilities. I would love to do the full time course at some point in the future.
