Hands on with the sandstone

During our recent visit to Ross' sculpture, Norbert was more than willing to share his great knowledge and passion for the trade and encouraged us all to get hands on with the sandstone. After a few tries, we soon realised how unforgiving working with stone can be. It was challenging and taxing on the body, but immensely satisfying to contribute to Ross' sculpture. For us Ross' way of working is at the heart of this project:

"we tailored and adapted our design techniques and construction techniques to the skills that we found and...worked with them to understand what they could do so that our designs could reflect that"  Ross, 2012
