As one of Post Ranch’s Extraordinary Experiences, join local jade diver and artist Justin Barrett for a Jade Carving Class. Big Sur jade is a rare nephrite found only along this stretch of coastline. Select your own stone and shape it using lapidary tools into a piece of jewelry or a personal keepsake.
Along the way, discover the story behind this remarkable material and settle into the meditative rhythm of the carving process. You’ll leave with something crafted by your own hands, and a deeper connection to Big Sur.
No prior experience necessary.
