Dos Rapporte with Stone Veneer

Stone veneer book covers 

 RMC/GBW workshop held Nov. 5-6
Coleen Curry introduced us to stone veneer and its possibilities as a binding material. The structure, dos rapporte, was empathetic to the stone and highlighted its potential. The veneers (slate and quartzite) really need to be handled to be believed; very seductive surfaces!
Coleen was a great instructor; relaxed, encouraging and very knowledgeable; ensuring the class a was success for all.
