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 students 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.
