Portfolio Example & Artist Statement
Calvin Lovato

Our work is made using lapidary machines. We use a variety of natural stone and shells and stabilized turquoise. Each bead is handmade using machinery to cut, grind, sand, drill, and polish. While some beads are uniform in size, others can be tapered.
