Sculptures Paintings I sculpt in sandstone. The maquettes are then cast at the foundry in bronze or stainless steel. I select soapstone because it is hard enough to hold an edge and soft enough to be worked with hand tools and without an air compressor which lessens the feel for the stone and to… Read more »
