In this album, you will see the proceedure from collecting the 
   raw stones from the different quarries

around Zimbabwe to the negotiating

on each piece while recording

title, artist name, size & stone type.

In the shed, we take special care

to make sure the bases are level

and to repolish each piece before

attatching a code number, which

will correspond to the packing list.

The piece will then be wrapped in

commercial plastic with tissue paper

wrapped in with the piece for extra protection.

Strong crates are made which will

hold the sculptures ready to be

loaded into a container and

exported worldwide.
