The first use...

... of the training workshop by the students dealt with the topic of stone processing. Soft sandstone was used to take a closer look at stone carving techniques. This was first worked with various tools, such as hammers and chisels.

The results were then examined and documented. Comparisons were then made with the processing marks described in the literature.
