The course focuses on traditional stone carving and is directed by master stonemason and sculptor Dumitru Ion Serban. The teaching program includes the analysis of different stone materials, the processes of extraction, the traditional working tools and their maintenance, the management of the displacement of traditional weights and the processing techniques applied to the various architectural elements.
Participants are taken through the whole process, from the extraction of the block in the ancient quarries of the medieval castle up to the positioning of the final architectural element, tailored using exclusively traditional technologies.
