We will introduce you to the fundamentals: which tools you need and how to use them, techniques for cutting stone and applying texture, and historical background on decorative styles. 'An excellent course led by a brilliant tutor - Thank you Ghislain. Only wish I could stay an do the BA. Great workshop and college is lovely also. Clever starter project to get used to chisel skills then followed up by a project of your choice. Support and guidance in place - friendly & relaxed atmosphere.' Helen COURSE DESCRIPTIONThere is something very special about learning a traditional skill like stone carving in an environment which is so dedicated to the continuation and advancement of the craft. City & Guilds of London Art School has an unbroken tradition of teaching sculpture, stone carving and woodcarving since 1879, and today, our stone carving graduates continue to work on the world’s great cathedrals, buildings and monuments. This one week course gives you a unique opportunity to try out these skills for yourself, in excellent facilities and guided by our inspirational teacher. Low relief stone carving provides the perfect platform for the beginner, and working with hammers and chisels you’ll come out with a small carved stone panel that you can be proud of. Using the medieval ornamental and figure reliefs as source material, you will be guided through the process of transferring your chosen image from the manuscript onto stone, once this is completed we will teach you the techniques of cutting stone and adding colour and texture by breaking or scraping the surface. In the process, you will learn what tools you need and how to use and maintain them, as well as some historical background on decorative styles. Join us and become a part of the great tradition of British stone carving! What’s included: all teaching, and your tools and materials for the stone carving. What isn’t included: your meals, and bring a steel tape measure if you have one, a notebook, pencil and rubber.

西沙群岛司马亮

Walking among the Egyptian mummies, I came across the glass reflection of the Rosetta Stone. Under the cold stone folds of the Parthenon sculptures, there are always tourists looking up and frozen into silhouettes. The display cabinets are more crowded than the exhibits. In the cracks of the celadon in the East Asian Hall, I caught a glimpse of my own hazy reflection - like those wandering cultural relics, with no idea when they will return.

Westminster Abbey

Night Attractions

苏河家园

Westminster Abbey is a world-famous Gothic building, both with a magnificent exterior and exquisite interior sculptures that are breathtaking. The church is a frequent visitor to royal coronations, weddings, state funerals, and the tombstones and monuments of great figures such as Newton and Darwin are also here, and the cultural atmosphere is bursting!

Buckingham Palace

The Buckingham Palace Changing of the Guard ceremony is a symbolic royal cultural event in London. You should occupy a favorable position in advance. At the appointed time, the guards, wearing red uniforms and bearskin hats, enter the venue to the sound of the military band &quot;God Save the King&quot;. The old and new guards take over their posts. The scene is very shocking. A large number of tourists gather outside the iron gate, vying to witness the changing of the guard ceremony of the royal guard.

I was shivering in the cold and queued for 40 minutes. I spent all the money I saved by booking tickets online on hot cocoa. My feet were numb when the glass cabin rose to the middle of the air - the Thames River was twisted into a tinfoil ribbon, and Big Ben was as small as a Lego block. The night view was really amazing. When the purple ring lit up, the whole river looked like it was splashed with fluorescent paint. When I landed, my legs were weak. I looked back and saw the purple ring that had collapsed into a rag. I thought: It was worth it, but I will buy a fast ticket next time.

Windsor Castle

Historic buildings

康泰时

Windsor Castle is a place worth punching in. Walk into the ancient castle to witness the history of the Royal British History. If you are tired, you can sit in the coffee shop in the castle. Aftertaste the luxurious buildings in the palace, wait after 3 pm. Take a few blockbusters when the light is good. You can also see the sentry changing in Windsor Castle.
