Boss Stone competition winners photo
« on: May 28, 2009, 09:09:35 AM »
Every year at Weymouth College we hold a Boss Stone competition and this picture is of the winning stones.
Boss Stones are the stones that hold/join together the stone arches seen in churches and cathedrals.
The students are given a theme, this year it was Grotesques, and 2 and 1/2 days to plan, make a maquette and carve.
When they are judged the shadows, depth, shapes, all round features, etc are all taken into account, bearing in mind they are viewed at great height.
My college is about the best in the country...
I love them...

Better bossy than brassy.
