Workshop slots available!!

Lapidary work is near and dear to my

heart. Teaching it is even better than doing it, because I get to watch other people get hooked too.

I just returned from Tucson with a treasure trove of nice material for my upcoming Lapidary workshop at Snow Farm: The New England School of Craft. That’s some delicious Ray Mine mix at right. It will need to be stabilized, but luckily, I have reliable information from an expert friend on just exactly how to do that.

Here’s a quick peek at some of the other lapidary rough I could not come home without:.

And I have also been cutting slabs for student use, too — despite the fact it has been freezing in the studio and my hands get too cold and wet to work for too long.

I am also creating new demo objects for a three day Textures and Patinas workshop that immediately follows my lapidary class, with a focus on some less common but stunning Japanese patinas you might want to learn more about and try.

I hope to see you there!
