Stone

Friday, 8th November, 10am-12 noon EST/ 3-5pm GMT/ 4-6pm CET

Our second session will explore the mineral realm. Often deployed to figure inertness or lack of feeling, stone can equally prove lively in early modern thinking, making, and writing. Our workshop will consider the cultural and material force of stone from its extraction to its manipulation through various crafts and techniques, and as an object that, through its evocation of more-than-human timescales, provokes new frames of reference for thought.
