The Practical Epigraphy Workshop 2025 will take place from Tuesday 25 to Thursday 27 March at the Corinium Museum, Cirencester. With the help of expert guidance participants will gain direct experience of the practical elements of how to record and study inscriptions in museums or in the field. The programme will include: the making of squeezes; imaging and measuring inscribed stones; and the production of transcriptions, translations and commentaries.
The workshop is aimed primarily at undergraduates who will be entering their third and / or final year of study next September and at graduates in any year, though we will consider applications from others who wish to develop hands-on skills in working with epigraphic material. The workshop is open to those with or without previous epigraphic training and participants may choose to work on texts in either Latin or Greek. The course fee for student participants will be £120 for this three-day event.

-Roger Tomlin, Wolfson College, Oxford (epigraphy in Latin / drawing techniques).
