Watch as J. Kenneth Leap and his apprentices paint and assemble stained glass windows by hand.
Learn about the art of manuscript illumination, and then see a Gutenberg-style printing press in action.
Enjoy music played on replica period instruments, and join students from Bryn Athyn College on the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela.
