Until recently Hal's Little World was a regular feature of the Salt Spring Island Saturday market. Artist Hal Stone presented an array of miniature works in porcelain to the market visitors. Each of Hal Stone's porcelain miniatures is sculpted in clay and carefully painted by hand. Often several sequenced firings of glazes are needed . Most notable at the market were his scale models of steam locomotives and early aircraft. Scots pipers, penguins and ducks completed the table.

These days, as an active octogenarian, Hal is taking a slightly softer approach to marketing his artwork. You may still find him as an occasional day vendor at the market. A better option however is to CONTACT HAL to set up an appointment to visit his studio. 

Better still, purchase right now from the selection below.

Hal Stone may not be braving the weather with the other artists at the Salt Spring Island rain or shine market, but he's still producing imaginative artwork in innovative style.

A skilled water colourist, known for vigorous but broody landscapes of Salt Spring Island, Hal Stone has recently began to combine his porcelain sculptures and his painting. His most recent artworks set his miniature figures into scenes painted on canvas to produce  bas relief  style art.

Hal is also exploring contemporary art marketing methods. Honing his digital photography skills and preparing to launch his own website. In the mean time, I'm pleased to include Hal Stone as a guest artist on vaseguy.com
