Stone: Ancient Craft to Modern Mastery
Join Us for a Book Talk and Signing with Richard Rhodes!
Be part of a rare and inspiring evening as acclaimed sculptor, stonemason, and author Richard Rhodes visits for a special signing of his highly anticipated new book, Stone: Ancient Craft to Modern Mastery.
In this beautifully illustrated and deeply insightful work, Rhodes unveils the secrets of stonework’s 5,000-year history and shares, for the first time, the closely guarded “Sacred Rules” of the medieval Freemason guild. More than a history, Stone is a passionate call to rediscover ancient wisdom for modern times — a fascinating journey through architecture, craftsmanship, and the enduring human relationship with this elemental material.
Meet the “last apprentice” of Siena’s legendary masonic guild, hear firsthand stories of his training in Italy, and get your copy of Stone personally signed.
"Stone: Ancient to Modern Mastery" will be available for purchase at the event thanks to William Stout Books
Whether you're an architecture enthusiast, history lover, or admirer of fine craftsmanship, this is an event you won’t want to miss!
