The
love of the stone...
That's
what you'll find in the heart of any good carver and you'll find
it here.
This
site and original work are a direct connection to my days spent
at the Cathedral of St. John
the Divine in NYC, and at Building
Crafts Training College, London, where I learned the ancient
craft of stonecarving.
This
online learning center for Gothic art
and architecture
is meant to share the beauty and the living
spirit of the stone with you.
Wander
back into history with a visit to a Virtual
Abbey. Discover tips & tricks to
Gothic
geometry, or learn to speak the language
of stone -- at the Field
Guide to Architectural Terms.
Once
you've tasted the joy that this art form can give, you'll want to
learn more. If you have questions on medieval art, architecture
or general history questions -- write to
me
directly or help yourself to the site Resources.
