I have taught beginning stone carving since 2004. I emphasize the Italian style: learn your hand tools well; graduate to pneumatic hammers and cutting saws then to hand polishing.
I open my studio to anyone who wants to learn basic carving or has particular needs for which you need help. The studio is open (rain or shine), Fridays and Saturday 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Bring lunch, gloves, sensible shoes and patience. Call first (707) 869-1666 or (707) 869-1021.
I have continuing students who work here every Friday and Saturday, so there are always people here who love stone. Patricia & I have a beautiful sculpture garden with my pieces and our collection.
