Long Description: 

At the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine's Medieval Arts Workshop, kids learn about and get to create medieval art in an original New York City environment.

The party starts with a brief tour of the Cathedral's medieval art, including tapestries and stained glass windows. Then, at the Medieval Arts Workshop, kids explore some traditional arts and crafts, and get to carve gargoyles, create illuminated letters, make brass rubbings and weave. Children complete and take home their own artwork.
