About
How did ancient artists learn to work and sculpt stone? Join Gina Borromeo, curator of ancient art, in a conversation about ancient techniques and processes. Rare examples of incomplete works reveal how sculptors were trained in ancient Egypt. Careful observation of the marks they left on these sculptors' models and training pieces leads to insights about Egyptian sculptural practices.
