Brass Rubbing PDF Print E-mail

This workshop compliments our Place of Worship trail perfectly by allowing pupils to engage with the history of the Cathedral in a "hands on" way.  Pupils are invited to observe the original brasses in the Cathedral and consider their historical importance.  They are then shown rubbing techniques and, in gold, silver or pewter on quality black paper, pupils make their own rubbings to take back to school for mounting.

 

KEY STAGE: All
CURRICULUM LINKS: History
VENUE: Cathedral or Education Centre
DURATION: 30 minutes
MAXIMUM NUMBER: 20
COST PER PUPIL: £1.75
Please note that rubbing of brasses inside the Cathedral is discouraged in order to preserve our heritage for future generations.  Facsimile copies are provided in our workshops.
