Stone and beyond - How This Ancient Material Remains Relevant Today

06 Feb 2024
This wide-ranging discussion will look at the particular attributes of stone from different parts of the world - from Türkiye the land of Natural Stones to Italy’s famous marble to the properties of the UK’s indigenous stone. This talk will crucially also set stone within the context of other materials and how it remains just as relevant today as it's been for centuries.
