Gemstone Carving I

2019

This project involved searching for the raw stone in the Rift Valley where jasper and quartz are readily found. The stones collected were used for the Foundation’s workshop where master carver Uli Pauly led a residency with five Ugandan artists. They were initiated in the use of specialist equipment and polishing techniques for working these extremely hard stones.
