Brief demonstrations of techniques will prepare you for
shaping your own piece. The workshop covers stone types and
properties, the use of different kinds of chisels for texturing, the
fundamentals of letter design, both low and high relief carving,
and rosette design. You may choose to copy an architectural
detail from Bryn Athyn Cathedral, such as one of the rosettes
on the side of the building, or make an original piece of your
own. No experience is necessary, and more advanced students
are always welcome.

As a master sculptor and carver with more than 20 years of
experience, Jens Langlotz has worked with and mastered the
major design building styles — from Romanesque, Gothic, and
Renaissance, to American Colonial and American Victorian
stone carving. He graduated from Fachschule Fur Steintechnik
in Munich. He has apprenticed under master sculptor Hans
Kupe, one of Germany’s leading stone restorers, and under

Al Walters, master craftsman in stone, metal, and wood. He
serves as head stone mason for both Bryn Athyn Cathedral
and Glencairn Museum, and he has also done work for many
other buildings including the Philadelphia Museum of Art,
Villanova University, Princeton University, Reading Terminal,
and Philadelphia City Hall.
