Sunday is not a day off at this symposium

Placing Victor's stone

Victor’s large stone needed to be moved so he could start carving. Ojars is guiding the placement of the wood blocks for safety.

Ojars has some help in encouraging Daniel Postellon to “Go Big”!

Firs tsection on Aaron's Schmidt's big mold.

First section on Aaron’s Schmidt’s big mold.

Large molds are being made with cement as a binder. This is traditional at Pedvale where chemicals and supplies were extremely hard to get in the early days. It  works well, is economical and low tech. Five of the six invited artist for the symposium are here and their work is moving along nicely. So far, the weather has been perfect. Let’s hope it stays that way!
