Stone Crazy at York Minster:
A Family Fun Draw
Date: August 9th – August 15th 2010
A family fun draw to encourage families to draw stone faces seen in or on the Minster, and stick the faces in place on a big outline floor map in the North Transpet of York Minster.
This is planned to highlight the Stone-Carving festival which begins on the 13th August, when visitors will have a chance to explore the Stoneyard at York Minster and go behind the scenes at one of the UK’s leading Cathedral Works Departments.
On the 14th and 15th August 2010, York Minster will hold a Stone Carving Festival for Masons, Carvers, Sculptors and Apprentices from across Britain and abroad.
The public are invited to come and meet the Carvers and Masons on Saturday and Sunday, witnessing their individual interpretation of the theme within the stones they will be working on.
The stones will then be auctioned off to the public on Sunday and all the proceeds will be divided between York Minster Fund and York Against Cancer.
