"Human faces are carved in surprising ways into Garrity's work, suggesting the threads that connect myth, past and present, and even forces of nature." (c)2000 Boston Neighborhood News 'Introduction to Stone Carving, ' is a step by step illustrated guide to the art of direct stone sculpture by award winning artist, DJ Garrity. Developed during his tenure as Sculptor-In-Residence of Mount Rushmore National Memorial, the artist introduces the 'process aesthetic, ' a subtle approach that allows a likeness and essence of personality to emerge from within the ancient patina and natural contours of stone. The techniques and illustrations presented are derived from a sculpture created by the artist at The Berry Botanic Garden of Portland, Oregon, and serve as a creative template for workshops and seminars at botanic gardens, museums and art associations across America and Ireland.

"Few decorative crafts can claim to be more ancient than stone carving, with the earliest carved objects being dated well into prehistory. The greatest monuments to human civilization, from the temples of ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt to the great cathedrals of Medieval Europe, are richly ornamented with decorative relief and sculpture carved in stone. Alan Micklethwaite, a stone carver with many years' experience in the conservation of historic monuments and sculpture, introduces the reader to the techniques and methodology of restoration stone carving, from simple relief to complex sculpture in the round, set against a sound conservation philosophy. The book provides a thorough understanding of stone as a material and describes its use in sculpture and the agents of its decay, as well as the method by which disfigured carvings can be forensically reconstructed, resulting in the re-emergence of beautifully carved historic architectural sculpture. The book is intended as a detailed introduction to restoration stone carving, and is aimed at those who are learning to carve stone or have an interest in pursuing a career in the conservation of stone sculpture and ancient monuments. While having a depth of detail which will allow it to serve as a reference manual for the professional, it will also inspire the beginner and fuel the interest of those who harbour a desire to pursue traditional crafts."--Front jacket flap.

Greenstone, or pounamu, has been prized by Maori for hundreds of years. The most precious tools, weapons and ornaments are made from this magnificent stone, treasured for its strength as well as its beauty. Pounamu is still valued today, and there is increasing interest not just in posessing objects that others have made, but in actually working the stone. The challenge of working in pounamu may be daunting but the rewards, both material and spiritual, are great. This book provides an introduction to the art of greenstone carving. It covers everything the novice carver needs to know, from what equipment is needed and how to obtain it, through safety, choosing stone, carving tecniques, and initial projects. The emphasis is on Maori designs; as well as instructions for carving, the uses and origins of the carved objects are also explained
