Welcome to Stitzinger Stonecraft, your source for hand carved stone sculptures. Each piece I make is unique and can be tailored to your needs, or the needs of your clientel if you would like to purchase wholesale. I experiment with lots of forms but my pieces fall within five primary categories:
Functional Stonework and Pottery (Retail $40 to $300) – Stone soap dishes, trivets, salt wells, ikebana vases, finger labyrinths, coffee table bowls, indoor/outdoor water feature bowls and fountains. Pottery mugs, bowls, etc.
Table Top and Garden Sculptures (Retail $100 to $500) – Ceramic or Stone, or mixed media stone and ceramic, abstract and figurative sculptures with nature themes made from material suitable for highlighting interior spaces or gardens, patios, stonewalls and decks.
Fine Art Sculptures (Retail $600 and up) – Abstract and figurative sculptures (stone and ceramic) with nature themes built for indoor display due to the incorporation of delicate forms or the use of material sensitive to outdoor weather (e.g. alabaster). Excellent décor for highlighting indoor stonework, wood work, ironwork, fireplaces, to occupy that special nook or for display in private galleries.
Installation Sculptures and Fountains – Custom, boulder-sized private and public pieces priced and built per specifications.
Eyes On Nature Collection– Attractive, one-of-a-kind sculptures sold with a portion of the sale donated to organization or for an organization to auction at fundraisers. Pieces are designed in consultation with a representative of the organization in order to create a piece that reflects the organization’s mission, highlight awareness of a new initiative, or draws attention to an achievement they would like to celebrate, etc. I collect an agreed upon percentage or base price and the rest of the money raised goes to the business or charity.
I am also available for stone sculpting demonstrations and classes.
My stone sculptures are made from: local rock (limestone, sandstone and siltstone, river, field, and quarry rock); stone that is hand selected at landscape shops, or purchased online (alabaster, granite, marble, soapstone, limestone, siltstone, sandstone, slate); and upcycled material (remnants of natural stone granite counter tops, roofing slate, foundation stone, or other stone construction remnants). And often from a favorite stone presented to me by someone who wants to see what could be done with it. I love this type of work!
Thank you for considering Stitzinger Stonecraft sculptures for your personal or commercial gallery.
Sincerely,
Kevin Stitzinger
