Monumental brasses were used to decorate graves in 13th–16th century Europe. They were often the only authoritative records of the intricate details of family history. Later, people made rubbings on paper to make copies.

Coats of arms date all the way back to the 12th century and were used to identify knights and royalty on the battlefield. They usually contained symbols and motifs that were important to a family.

Come and try your hand at making brass and other textural rubbings. Learn about the stylistic elements of a coat of arms and create one for your family.
