New detailed carved bowl in the studio.
The lines follow the curve of the form in a controlled flow towards the base.

The Grand Canyon offers the world’s most famous example of layers of geological time, almost 2billion years.
Still. The oldest rocks are 1billion years younger than the rocks we carve here in the Western Isles every day.

Our handcarved Hebridean stone pestle and mortars are reassuringly solid.
Carving these pieces is a work of love, as tough as the stone itself.

We are loving circles at the moment;
symbolising many things to many people, there is something about the smooth curve and never-ending line of a circle.

Happy Earth Day!
At Gneiss Things we are always looking for new ways of making our work more earth-friendly- from plastic-free packaging to developing lower energy production methods.
