About this Event
Stone carvings have been made around the world for centuries. From China to Germany to Brazil, carvers in each area bring their own approach to the artform based on their cultural traditions and the materials and tools available to them. The exhibition The Influence of Culture, Craft and Substance in Stone Carvings, on view in the Mineralogical Museum from February 6 through May 16, explores how a carver’s background impacts their creations through the items on view from the University’s collection.
Join curator Sharon Fitzgerald to learn more about these carvings and get a unique opportunity to hold and feel carving materials for yourself.
This in-person event is free and open to the public.
Registration is requested.
