Lida Kindersley has recently partnered with Geologist Steve Garrett to write a new book, a Suitable Stone. It is being published in September.
A Suitable Stone brings together the worlds of Steve, a geologist, and Lida, a stone carver and letter cutter, to discuss how geology has shaped the British stones used for letter cutting and fine carving. Through dialogue they explore the properties and qualities of several categories of British rocks and stones, looking at their colouration, density, and response to a chisel. Working alongside their teams, both share a belief in protecting our precious planet. You can order the book here.
