I’ve been asked by a local contractor to carve plaques with their clients logos on them to give as gifts at the end of projects. Great idea! Really happy they appreciate hand crafted pieces for this rather than store bought generic plaques. #stonecarving #corporatelogo #trophies #handmadegifts

I had a really great day in Perth Ontario teaching these young ladies stone carving. I was really impressed with how well they took to it. So much fun!!

We did a small flint knapping workshop tonight in the studio. Really challenging but fun.

A finished slate carving by one of my open studio participants. Finished with bee’s wax. Such a nice piece! #stonecarving #slatecarving
