#stonecarvers

Attn: #Phoenix #HeardShow #artisans and #stonecarvers, My phone is 435-691-2124 and I'm currently parked out in the #HeardMuseum free parking at the Heard Show in the Arts District of Phoenix today (all day) from 7:30-9AM and will be at the truck approximately from 3:00 PM to 7 PM to sell carving stone bit no later! So be there if you don't want to drive clear up to Utah to get our stone. If you're tagged in this post please share if you know anyone who needs stone as that would be greatly appreciated by us. We have 2 ton on the trailer of various sizes and it's called Mohave ET Brown #alabaster. Alvin Marshall has finished sculptures of the stone at his booth and you can see posts of it here ==> @ETTrading if you wish to see what it looks like as a finished piece! #alabaster #mohavealabaster #alpinegems #earthtone #carvers #phoenixartist #phoenixart #asu #arizona #arizonagram #nativeart (at Heard Museum)

Be sure to tune in this morning to @weareaustin (9am on @KEYETV) for a sneak preview of the #stonecarving exhibition happening this Friday and Saturday in Florence, TX @thevineyardatflorence. Half a dozen of some of the best #stonecarvers in the country will be working to benefit the local Florence library. Carving is today and tomorrow. Auction of the pieces created will begin at 4 pm Saturday. #handcrafted #limestone #stonecarving #texas (at The Vineyard at Florence)

This two day event will take place August 4,5&6, 2012 in conjunction with the Rideau Canal Festival in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. It is modeled after the European Stone carving festivals that take place every year, all over the EU. Carvers are given a piece of stone approximately 9''x12''x14'' to carve over the course of the weekend using only hand tools. The pieces will be auctioned off at 1:00 pm on the 6th. Your experience level is not important but you must have your own kit. I always like to stress that this a festival, not a competition. The goal is to grow a craft fellowship regardless of experience and who you work for, while educating the pubic on what we do. Greater public awareness will mean more opportunities to do what we do.  We are working on a theme for this year. Leaning towards the five Nations that built the Rideau canal. First Nations, French, Irish, Scottish and British. We'll start carving Saturday morning and end around 5pm. Saturday night we'll be treated to dinner at a local restaurant. We are working out accommodations for out of towners. Sunday will be the same format as Saturday and the Auction will take place Monday. Registration is $35.00
