In this week’s episode about marble, Caroline and Courtney discuss the processes of quarrying and carving marble, as well as the properties of marble that make it an ideal medium for sculpture. See the Parthenon in a new way, and look at a piece in the Hood’s collection made by one of the world’s first professional female sculptors.
