Stonecarving Demo in Las Vegas
The Laborers International Union (LIUNA) invited me to demonstrate the art of stone carving at their centennial convention in April, 2003
|
|
|
Over 4600 people attended the convention, and I had a chance to show them to the
art and craft of stone carving.
2003 marks the 100th anniversary of LIUNA and the 150th anniversary of the
Journeymen Stonecutters Association of North America.

These
are some of the chisels I brought to Las Vegas. Most of them are 70 or 80 years
old, and were passed down from carver to carver. They are stamped with names of
their previous owners, and represent tens of thousands of hours of creative
work.
