Garrity - New Mexico

                                   "The Rhythms of Stone" sculpture workshop is a blend of traditional and
                    unorthodox techniques combined with the use of simple hand tools. The
                    program is especially popular with botanical gardens across the country
                    where the emphasis is on blending sculpture into new or existing landscape
                    and hardscape design. A refined approach to the expressive qualities of the
                    human face allow the students to finesse an image from stone, which carries
                    their unique creative imprint. The program is attended by both artists and
                    non-artists with many participants having no previous art background. The
                    program also draws students with a desire to add a three-dimensional piece
                    to their body of work and those with an interest in obtaining the professional
                    development, graduate or undergraduate credits associated with the program.
