Back from Sweden

Sculpture instructor David Marshall
(left) and assistant, Art student John
Urquhart, are back at Capilano after
a summer of granite carving in
Sweden, and since we are typing
this up so close to deadline we had
better rush right ahead and tell you
that Marshall will be lecturing on his
carving experiences in Sweden and
Yugoslavia on Tuesday, October
13 from 3 to 5 pm in A117. More
details further down the page, but
now back to our story.

Marshall was one of four sculptors
invited to carve in He!singborg, a
small city in Sweden which is
working on becoming an art centre.
This was the first year of their
granite carving program, which is
slated to continue annually. The
other artists who were there were
Marcel Petit and Michel Sprogis
from Paris, and Michael Prentiss of
New York. The sculptors were
working in black granite, which is
highly resistant to weathering, but
extremely hard and requires
diamond tipped tools to carve.
