“Built with Stone: Eight Contemporary Artisans” Showcases the Work of Master Stoneworkers from Around the US
This design book released by Schiffer Publishing, Ltd. showcases the work of eight master stoneworkers from around the United States in a wide variety of interior and exterior projects.
Enjoy this photographic compilation of works by 8 contemporary stonemasons. View interior and exterior structures in public and private venues using dry stack, mortar, pavers, and more in a variety of styles.
Large, full-color photography captures stone constructions including retaining walls, steps, fireplaces, patios, water features, and free standing structures. Each artist’s work is featured in a dedicated chapter and shows a selection of techniques, including dry stacking, mortaring, paving, and carving.
Though these craftsmen adhere to different aesthetics, the fundamentals of their craft and their patience for building something with permanence is common throughout. From small garden walls to two-story fireplaces, here is the grand, simple, and sustainable work of contemporary stone artisans for designers, students, and homeowners. Photographer Steven P. Whitsitt travels the United States documenting the work of top-end designers.
