Day 3 - MadKat

No, it isn't a forest fire. It's mid-day at MARBLE/marble!



Every morning at 10am, a bongo drum alerts the sculptors that a training session is about to begin under the tent by the tool shed. Today's topic was the in-line chisel. Listening to and watching these on staff instructors instructors is certainly one of the highlights of the symposium. Scott, Petro and Madeline (left to right) shared many valuable tips and some priceless humor (particularly the inimitable Scott Owens).

Made a lot of progress today! I may actually finish this piece by the end of the Symposium. Spent most of the day with the newly-christened "MadKat" blade. This is a 5 inch diamond encrusted wonder. It's new name comes from the two staff members most responsible for the high sales rate of this blade.



Tonight, after dinner, a rescheduled slide show is on the docket.
