Warwick students get their hands dirty!
On Monday students on the Art and Architecture module run by Dr Zahra Newby got the chance to experience ancient stone carving techniques. In a workshop led by sculptor, Andy Tanser, they experimented with carving limestone and soapstone, giving them the chance to see how labour intensive carving stone actually is.
Generously sponsored by local business Russcote Stonemasons; funded as part of an IATL academic fellowship held by Dr Newby. For student perspectives on the event, read the blog.
