WORKSHOP
Relief Carving with Jens Langlotz
June 22-29 — $675
This course will introduce students to the basics of relief
carving. Students will be exposed to the process of working
with limestone including lettering, edge design, and finishing.
During the course, students will design their own pieces
inspired by examples found within Bryn Athyn Cathedral or
created from their own personal concepts.
As a master sculptor and carver with more than 20 years
of experience, Jens Langlotz has worked and mastered the
major design building styles-from Romanesque, Gothic, and
Renaissance, to American Colonial and Victorian stone carving.
Jens graduated from Fachschule Fur Steintechnik in Munich.
He 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 the
head stone mason for both Bryn Athyn Cathedral and Glencairn
Museum, and has also done work on many other structures
including the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Philadelphia City
Hall, Reading Terminal, and buildings at Villanova and Princeton
Universities.
