Other Stone Carvers

• Sue Toorans -- my co-instructor and long time friend. Sue's work is a bit more amorphous than my own tends to be, but we both do whatever we want in reality.
• Doug Howatt -- a student studying with Sue and me, though the word "student" is misleading. There isn't much we've got left to teach him, but he keeps coming back anyway. He's got natural talent!
• Dawn Medd -- Sue introduced me to Dawn. She took the same Taking the Leap class as Sue. Very nice work. Figurative, strong, but not realistic.

Other Artists

• About Stone -- SolVici Glass. Fused glass work by a friend living in Wisconsin.

Online Resources

• About Stone -- a source for links to stone carvers all over the world and ongoing discussions about working stone in many ways. An impressive web site. Definitely worth your time.

Sculpture Supply Sources

• Renaissance Stone -- a stone yard in Oakland CA. Good selection of stones and tools. Reasonable stone prices. No mail order, though.
• Stone Sculptors Supplies -- a supplier in Guerneville, California. These folks handle nice Italian alabasters and good Italian rifflers, among other things.
• The Compleat Sculptor -- a big supply place in New York. They have just about everything. Prices seem to be full list, though.
• The Base Shop -- an excellent supplier of custom sculpture bases. I've used them several times and highly recommend them.
• Bronze Works -- a foundry in Santa Cruz, CA. Sean Monaghan is a good guy and does nice work. His molds are very nice. 831-454-9098.

Arts Organizations

• The Pacific Art League of Palo Alto -- an arts teaching non-profit in Palo Alto, CA. The stone carving class I teach is offered through this group. See their web site for specific dates and hours. See my stone carving classes page for other information.
