Just plain silly
This slim volume is disappointingly brief in its treatment of the process of sculpture, and confoundingly obscurant in its discussions of capital-A-Art. "Nature, forming caverns, wanted to open up its heart to reveal moments of living intimacy," this book begins. What?!?Except for 10... -

I'd like to try stone carving, but I don't know what I'm doing--is there a way to find local sculptors for classes? I already tried locals colleges etc with no luck.
There are rock shops in Metairie and Lafayette that can sell you different kinds of stone to practice on. Probably others closer that I don't know about. They can also tell you what kinds of native stone would work in your area and where to find it. Try serpentine too.

In Puritan New England, with its abiding concern for things not of this world and its distrust of forms and ceremonies, one art flourished: the symbolic art of mortuary monument stonecarvers. This carefully researched, beautifully illustrated work was the first to consider this art in depth as a meaningful aesthetic-spiritual expression. It is reissued for today's readers, with a new preface outlining changes in the field since the book appeared in 1966.

Diplomatic bodyguard by day, stonecarver by night – Stew Brodie is a man of hidden talents.
The Stokes Valley minder is one of more than 400 artists exhibiting at the NZ Art Show this week, but has had to fit his carving around commitments protecting high-flying government types, including Prime Minister John Key.
Brodie, who has been with the Diplomatic Protection Service for nine years and the police for 17 years, began carving about six years ago after a friend bought him entry into a stonecarving symposium.
"I'd never done anything like this before, but I thought I'd have a crack at it."
The first piece he created, which was auctioned at the end of the course, sold for $1300.
"So that paid for the entry and the next couple of years' entry as well. So I thought `even if I end up with a pile of gravel next time, that's fine'."
Brodie fits his art in around a job that has taken him around the world with MPs and other government officials, including Mr Key.

This is another mundane shot. I could not help but overhear the spirited conversation between two American tourists, of how this structure could be linked to the pillars at Stonehenge or some other structure. It was for this reason that I took the shot. Without archeological knowledge, I only saw it as a stone carving made by someone with a sense of humour. It looked to me like a depiction of a nippled testicular vampire. Photography has been my passion for the past many years since I was 14. I still have a daytime job although I am taking my passion to another level as a Freelance Photographer. I do portraiture, interior, pre-wedding and studio photography assignments based on introductions. I do not normally accept work without first knowing the potential client to assess my own capability of managing the output. I have a mobile studio which I lug around when needed for off-studio photography....
Stone Sculpture and harvesting honey in Portugal
Dan thrust his arm into the dark depths of the engine. This beast of a vehicle which is a Portuguese military jeep seems to be a cross between a Humvee and a Land Rover and was being a little temperamental and didn’t want to start. I’d just arrived in Portugal to risk my life harvesting honey from Dan’s bees and to make a stone sculpture of my own devise for the first time. Right now, we’d just finished off the evening with some delicious Piri Piri chicken at an understated restaurant owned by the charming Senior Aurelious. So much so that he gave us some complimentary Madronia which is akin to Vodka to clean the pallet and help wash down the dried figs that we had as a dessert. I myself had got so engrossed with the delight of the Piri Piri chicken that I pretty much polished off the shared plate before Dan even got a piece. I didn’t realise that Dan is one of those people that saves the best until last on his plate, I on the other hand am a little less indiscriminate and have a veil of ignorance when it comes to sharing etiquette and food. If you put food in front of me, beware.
