I work at Glasgow Sculpture Studios, Glasgow, Scotland (UK) where I also teach stone carving. Each year I spend some weeks at Arco Arte studios,Carrara, Italy. My aim is to develop a new language of forms for sculpture in stone, and re-establish stone as a medium for expressive art, both figurative and abstract. I accept commissions for outdoor and indoor sculptures in stone and marble.

I live and work on the Isle of Harris, Western Isles, Scotland and use a variety of materials including a local stone, possibly the oldest in Europe. Sometimes incorporated are other natural materials, birds may be encased in wood, whale bone or what ever I find washed up. Occasionally ritual is involved in the process. I use bronze and siver {as in " Porpoise " a recent sculpture}. I also create objects in the environment. My web site shows these and other works. Also links, CV, and writing by Iain Sinclair.

Alistair Ferguson: Stone Sculptor. I have always had an interest in art. At school I considered pursuing it as a possible career subject, but in common with many I was directed to follow the then standard practice in Glasgow of getting an apprenticeship and went from school to work in mechanical engineering, then eventually into telecommunications. I recently learned about the Glasgow Sculpture Studios, and there I have attended classes run by the renowned Glasgow Sculptor Tom Allan. From this I have found that I can use both my natural and learned abilities to produce interesting pieces of stone sculpture. Please look through the pages of my web site at the examples of some of the pieces that I have produced, and if you are interested in any of the work please contact me.

An online gallery for the sculpture of Chris Hall. "My sculpture has evolved over the last 30 years from being a projection of an 'idea' to a direct experience with my chosen media: stone and wood. In practice this means responding to the hidden qualities of particular pieces of found material and the work that nature has already begun. I have learned that for a creative dialogue to begin I need only look closely at what is already happening in a given piece of rock, wood, landscape or plant. I like to place sculpture in a context that has meaning for me. Therefore I have undertaken work in sacred places, for example the cloister carvings at Iona Abbey, or in landscapes I have designed or chosen. An important aspect of my work is bespoke commissions and memorials, where a significant relationship is necessary between craftsman and client."

Ronald Rae is based in Edinburgh, Scotland. He is a direct carver of granite. He has been carving granite by hand for over forty years. The granite he uses comes from Aberdeenshire and is approximately 460 million years old. He feels it is a privilege to be able to carve such an ancient and noble stone. Ronald's sculptures express his love and concern for the human and animal condition. His largest sculpture to date is a twenty tonne Lion. It took him over a year to complete. His current major exhibition of twenty one large granite sculptures is at the stunning venue of Holyrood Park Edinburgh till may 2007. The sculptures are mainly of animals, some of endangered species such as the 22 feet long Tyger Tyger. Other works are biblical and about humankind such as War Veteran. The sculptures are at various sites in Holyrood Park in the Holyrood Palace Gardens, Edinburgh. At the end of the exhibition all the sculptures will be for sale. Several of Ronald Rae's sculptures are in public and private collections in the UK and abroad. He is happy to do commissions. He is also willing to travel to give talks and slide shows about his work.
