Since 1983 George Carruth has been creating wonderful cast images in stone from completely original designs carved from limestone and clay. Turning rough quarry stones into garden sculptures became the passion of George Carruth over two decades ago. It all began over 25 years ago with one-of-a-kind garden statues and sculptures, hand carved from stones, cast off from local quarries. The perfect gift for a gardener. Soon he was winning awards at art shows and exhibits, sculpting commissioned pieces for the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., and carving custom stone panels for a school, library and village clock tower. Even a custom tiny stone Christmas ornament was commissioned for the White House Christmas tree.. Besides being a beautiful spiritual flower pot in the summer, it is stunning filled with poinsettias during the Christmas holidays. The thistle image on this flower pot is taken from the Cathedral itself.
