I spent several days last week at the Silver Falls Stone Sculptors Symposium. I’d never been to a stone symposium and wasn’t sure what to expect. My personal goal was to learn. To learn; stone, tools, techniques, and attitude.
The following is a distillation of those days into 4 minutes of video.
What the video doesn’t show are the dinning hall meals (quite good), tool talks on safety and the various tools in common use, special life drawing class by John Fisher, after dinner presentations and discussions, and the fire-pit comaraderie.
I had an outstanding experience and expect that I will return in future years. The symposium is sponsored by Northwest Stone Sculptors Association www.nwssa.org and I thank them here for the excellent experience; I learned a lot.
