New episode with Sollai Cartwright: Finding inspiration everywhere


Final episode from our first series is out now

Listen to Sollai Cartwright

Sollai Cartwright takes inspiration from everything around him creating both abstract and figurative work.

Sollai talks about his favourite stone, Bianco P, and how it responds to chisels while holding its form. He speaks about the historical resources of the area around Pietrasanta and of the extensive range of historical tools available, especially at the renowned Milani Tools shop. He describes how each tool has a different relationship with a different stone.

Enjoy listening.
