Crafts that Built the Cathedral: Stone Carving Workshop

Join award-winning stone carver Deb Harrison in the Cathedral's Medieval Learning Hub for a hands-on stone carving workshop. Over four hours, you'll design and carve a relief tile, using techniques that built the Cathedral 1,000 years ago—no experience needed!

What to Expect:

- Health and safety introduction

- About the stone

- Learning to use the Stonemasons tools

- Create or bring your own stencil design (20x 20cm), or be inspired by stencils reflecting the cathedral's themes & symbols.

- Transfer using carbon paper onto the stone

- Outline, rough out, refine, finish

- Take your piece home—or feature it in our summer exhibition which will highlight the heritage skills and community-created artwork. If you choose to have your work displayed, it will be returned by post after the exhibition.

Ages 13+ welcome (under 18s must be accompanied by an adult)

All materials, tools, and PPE provided

Tickets are £125
