We really hope Scott is right that hand craft makes a comeback. People (usually on Insta) are always crying that we’re killing stone carvers but I’m like, dude, we employ half the stone carvers in the country! I’m exaggerating a bit, but all we’ve done with robots is create a market for stone carvers again. Sculpture that was so wildly inaccessible has been made just affordable enough that all these talented craftspeople can now get jobs working in stone (handling the details a robot can’t). Some of our carvers were accomplished carvers already but most of them are recent art school grads and fabricators getting trained up in the old ways.

I’ll really miss this old beat up factory. Soon we’ll move to our new long term home.

Saturday morning, new sculptures getting started. These may be the last big projects in Mt. Vernon. We’re moving to a much bigger space in Brooklyn this summer.
