From the 12 oct. 2024
House of Stone 60740 SAINT-MAXIMIN
from 9h30 to 17h00
Come to the Maison de la Pierre for a real time of sharing and learning about the famous Saint-Maximin stone! Frédéric, a real stone-cutter and trainer in the stone-cutting trade, will share his passion for this age-old craft with you!
2 options to choose from:
- 6-hour introductory workshop for adults and teenagers aged 10 and over (rosette measuring 10 x 10 x 1.5cm)
- 2-day introductory workshop (2 x 6h) for adults and teenagers aged 15 and over (30 x 30 x 3cm rosette)
On the programme: Like the stonemasons who fashioned our cathedrals, discover the art of stonemasonry and learn how to use traditional tools to create a small rose window.
Frédéric will guide you and adapt to your level so that you can complete your project.
Take a block of stone and turn it into a real rose window by following these steps:
1. preparing the template
2. drawing the line on the block of stone
3. size
At the end of your day or weekend course, you'll have the great satisfaction of taking home a real masterpiece carved by yourself, representative of the Gothic art that enhances our built heritage!
