Our 25th Year
The 2019 Southwest Stone Carving Association Workshop is scheduled for September 27th, 28th, & 29th. We encourage beginner and novice carvers, as well as intermediate and advanced carvers! With three outstanding well known, professional instructors, there will be opportunity for everyone to carve something unique. Topics will range from safety, use of tools, geology of the stone, choosing a stone, basic and advanced carving techniques.
There are many hotels/motels to choose from in Hobbs, NM as well as camping availability at Harry McAdams State Park. Make your reservations in advance for either as Hobbs has special events in the fall that make accommodations hard to find at times.

Tuition includes stone, instruction, use of tools, lunches, light breakfast, and a special event on Saturday night. |
IMPORTANT: It is highly recommended for beginners to create a Plasticine (clay) model BEFORE attending the workshop. Having this Plasticine (clay) model will give you a visual representation of your finished rock sculpture.

I have learned the secret of the stone through my cultural and ancestral teachings. Based in Native American themes, my work shows pride for the Pueblo culture and a deep understanding of the inherent spirituality of the stone. I have chosen stone as my medium of expression because it is a combination of the basic elements of the earth. I feel the honesty and purity of this most basic of material permits me to express myself from the heart and to express the spirit that Native people respect an revere as embodied in the stone.
Since 1974, when I created my first stone sculpture, I have created a significant body of work that keeps evolving with new influences and new interests. My sculptures are featured in such public locations as the National Statuary Hall in the Nation's CapitolAlbuquerque International Airport and in permanent collections throughout the country. He has been included in major invitational exhibitions and one-man shows in leading museums and galleries and has earned highest honors and awards for his sculptures. Continue Reading
