St Albans Cathedral Art & Craft Activity Roman Mosaics
About.
St Albans Cathedral’s Art & Craft activity – Roman Mosaics for your students.
Alban would have been very familiar with the mosaics of Roman Verulamium and, having looked at examples of some of these, this workshop gives students the chance to create an example of their own.
At the end of each workshop, all students will have produced a piece of art to take back to school with them.
Most schools combine two activities, usually a trail and a workshop, to make a whole day of their visit. Trails include drama and artefacts to help students develop their learning, whilst workshops allow them to create a piece of artwork to take home at the end of the visit.

Covering a range of curriculum areas, they offer activities for students of all Key Stages including teaching about Romans, Saxons, Medieval, Tudors, Victorians, RE and learning about the Christian Faith, as well as Maths and Science.
Using role play, artefacts, experiential learning and the building itself, students encounter the stories and history of St Albans Cathedral and learn in new and inspiring ways through a variety of trails and workshops. A fascinating and thought-provoking day in this magnificent setting can provide new skills, deeper understanding and a stimulus for further study.
