Opportunity to Learn My Methods of Making
Stone Vases
On this page I’m offering the opportunity to learn my
innovative processes using my step by step illustrated instructions
on how to make natural stone vases like mine.
The vases I make are truly unique, not only in the sense that
each is distinct, but also because I personally developed my
approach and methods and am the only person using
natural stone in this way. Natural stone is, for an artist, a
material like none other. Not least amongst it’s assets is it’s
constant variability, no two pieces are ever the same. Not in
appearance or in how they react to a hammer and chisel.
My methods exploit and utilize that variability along with the
incremental nature of masonry materials to show and use natural
stone and minerals in an entirely new way. That said, I want to be sure not to
tout this as any kind of get rich quick scheme. What I’m offering
to teach is a genuine value adding process which requires work to add the
value. My system requires no extraordinary levels of skill but each
part must be learnt and carried out with care and attention.
"Wow, I've never seen anything like these
before" !
That has to be the most common first response to my
vases, and the innovative quality is a major factor in
attracting potential buyers. My customers at the
Saltspring Market are often quick to move beyond the
innovation to appreciate the other features.
Permanence and Durability.
Properly made and cared for, natural stone vases like
mine should last... well...for ever.
Great Function.
Truly Functional Art, with no doubts about the
function. The heavy stone vases provide great support for
even the most elaborate bouquet and the stone looks great
with blooms and foliage. The glass core ensures no water
seeps
onto furniture.
Beautiful Natural Materials.
Natural stone and semi-precious gemstones have
centuries of proven appeal
Perfect for Gifts.
Unique functional art in glamorous natural materials.
Great for the home and a touch of romance, no wonder so
many are bought as gifts, especially as wedding presents.
